Accolade for TWI Certification Ltd
Keywords TWI, Awards, Certification
A milestone was reached by TWI Certification Ltd recently, when it was accredited as an Awarding Body for National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications.
TWI Certification was already accredited by a number of organisations including the United Kingdom Accreditation Service and the European Welding Federation for its personnel and company certification schemes, for example, CSWIP and the Welding Fabricator Certification Scheme.
The latest achievement will extend the scope of its personnel certification activities in the welding and NDT areas into the UK national framework of N/SVQs. It will also provide opportunities for closer integration between the wide range of certification schemes currently available in these areas, bringing benefits to individuals and their employers.
It is expected that the Watson Associates Assessment Centre (WAAC) based near Southampton will be one of the main organisations involved in conducting N/SVQ assessments on behalf of TWI Certification.
