Logic4training is currently looking for employers to take on and/or provide support for would-be apprentices who have completed our new course, Access to Building Services Engineering, City & Guilds (C&G) 2000 – Level 1, which we are delivering in partnership with the Job Centre and Pearson in Practice.

We will be hosting an open day on the 24th May for interested businesses, starting at 12pm.

During the day, guests will be supplied with food and refreshments and given the opportunity to meet with students on the Access to Building Services programme. Following lunch, attendees will hear more about the course and how it is funded, plus an overview of the benefits to taking on a learner who has been through this training – either as an apprentice or employee. Employers will be given the opportunity to meet these candidates again if they so wish.

Access to Building Services Engineering, C&G 2000 is designed for anyone over 19 looking to work in plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation or refrigeration and air conditioning based roles, such as installers and builders merchants. The course provides a stepping-stone onto the apprenticeship programme, giving trainees a good grounding in their chosen trade, plus general employability advice, including putting a CV together and presentation techniques.

If you would like to attend the open day, or find out more about this programme, please contact Jon Humphreys: jon.humphreys@gaslogic.com, 0845 845 7222.

Calling all building services employers in Luton!

Logic4training is now offering pre-apprenticeship programmes for over 19s in the Luton area and need willing employers, in plumbing, heating & ventilating, refrigeration & air conditioning and electrical trades, to take these learners on as employees or apprentices.

The programme is based on the City & Guilds 2000 L1 Certificate in Access to Building Services Engineering and will give learners basic skills and knowledge within the plumbing, electrical, air conditioning and H&V areas, providing a first step into our industry. Basic employability skills are covered as part of the programme and candidates will have reached minimum levels in maths and English.

There are loads of benefits to taking on an apprentice, not least the fact that it gives you the opportunity to shape someone towards a way of working that suits your particular business. As these learners are over 19, they should be a bit more mature and may have more relevant experience than your average school leaver*.

With over one million young people aged between 18-24 unemployed it is vital that the building services sector takes a lead in finding meaningful employment and apprenticeships for some of these individuals.

If you’re interested in providing an apprenticeship or employment for candidates on this course, please get in touch: 0845 457 7222, enquiries@logic4training.co.uk.

The pre-apprenticeship course is being delivered in partnership with Pearson in Practice and Job Centre Plus.

*Due to their age, apprenticeships aren’t fully funded and wages will be payable by the employer.

July special offers – gas ACS, renewables and more!

As the kid’s summer holidays finally arrive, many of you have a welcome quiet couple of months ahead while the whole world and his wife seems to take a vacation. Why not use this opportunity to get up-to-speed with your training? The heating season will be with us again sooner than you know it and for many, that means ACS (Approved Certification Scheme) qualifications need renewing. If you’re a refrigeration and air conditioning engineer, you must make sure you’ve got the correct FGas training under your belt.

Maybe you want to add more to your offering; domestic gas engineers might want to up-skill to the commercial side of things and across the board, renewables are becoming an increasingly popular choice with this market expanding at a rapid rate.

October should see the introduction of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) for domestic applications. To take advantage of the market opportunities this will create, your company needs to be Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) approved. Our renewable installation courses are recognised by the MCS so go towards accreditation. By taking appropriate training and other necessary steps now, you can make sure that your business is ready for the increase in demand for renewable heat come the end of the year.

Our July special offers will help you get up to speed with relevant training while benefitting from reduced rates at all of our centres and on many of our courses. Current special offers are as follows:

• 20% off all courses* taken at our Luton centre; training must be booked by the 31st August but can be taken at any time.
• 20% off FGas training, from Monday 8th to the 12th August at our Basildon centre.
• 70% off renewables training for installers in the East of England – Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex (outside the M25), Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
• £25 off Logic4training’s working at heights course when booked in conjunction with solar thermal or solar PV courses at our Northolt centre.
