| NOTICE: |
Through 2010 and 2011 all nationally accredited qualifications are being revised by their relevant Awarding Bodies to meet the requirements of the government’s newly introduced, national Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).
In many cases the courses remain virtually unaltered but have added details of “Credit” values ascribed to the individual Units that are required to be completed to achieve the qualification.
Under the QCF, new qualification grades have been introduced: an Award, Certificate and Diploma, for which a specified minimum number of Credits will have to be achieved. These grades are expected to be available for each subject at each Level of difficulty. The grades available and the numbers of Credits required for each grade can however differ for each subject and Level.
The new information is being introduced onto our website following its availability from the relevant Awarding Bodies. The revised courses are identified by the acronym QCF at the end of their title. Please contact us for the very latest information.

WHO IS IT FOR? This qualification is designed for operational staff working within the polymer manufacturing and processing sectors of industry. It is ideal for participants involved in any operational role, who wish to have their current skills assessed and recognised against accredited national standards and to raise their individual level of competence at work to meet those standards.
This course has been devised by the polymer industry's own awarding body to meet the requirements of the Sector Skills Council for the industry. The course is tailored to apply nationally accepted standards to specific production operations and to the use of individual types of equipment.
