Developed in collaboration with BPIF, Attain Training has launched Professional Development Awards to expand their portfolio. The Professional Development Awards, accredited and awarded by SQA, focus on addressing skills requirements identified by the industry.
The Awards are aimed at individuals who, while being experienced in their job role, may not hold a relevant qualification. They will also be appropriate for employees wishing to demonstrate continuous professional development and candidates who wish to further enhance their skills with a view to career development in a new field in the print industry.
Specific learning and assessment materials have been developed jointly by Attain Training and BPIF to standardise the delivery and assessment of the qualifications across the UK.
Each award will run for approximately 6 months to one year, depending on the candidate’s experience, to be completed alongside the candidate’s job with support from an experienced Attain Training assessor who will provide on and off-site support.
The Professional Development Awards available are:
- Digital Artwork
- Sheet Fed Lithography
- Web Offset Printing
- Digital Printing
- Flexography
- Print Finishing 1
- Print Finishing 2
- Print Administration 1
- Print Administration 2
The Awards are priced at £950 per award, per candidate that includes registration, all learning materials and a dedicated training co-ordinator who will visit the candidate in the workplace. Local funding should be available to support with cost.
