Paragon Data Services’ Senior Engineers have recently achieved accreditation from the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) after completing an NVQ level 3 to gain their CSCS Gold Cards. The cards allow the company’s engineers to have supervisory access to construction sites in the UK, and confirm they have the correct qualifications and training to work in the industry.
Five of Paragon Data Services’ Senior Engineers started the 12 month NVQ course in 2014 including Keith Parkinson, Richard Lloyd, Paul Taylor, Gary Dunlin and Wayne Harper. In addition, Engineer Adam Regester who joined after the course started is also now undertaking the diploma.
The CSCS Gold Card accreditation is part of Paragon Data Services’ continued commitment towards the professional development and training of its staff, as Iain Bland, Managing Director, says:
“Since establishing Paragon Data Services it has been a key objective of mine to ensure our team members are given every opportunity to gain new qualifications and training. Our engineers are highly experienced and do a fantastic job, so it’s fitting that they have now achieved accreditation from the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry.”
As well as completing the NVQ level 3, Paragon Data Services’ Engineers are currently undertaking an Asbestos Awareness Course.
In 2014, Paragon Data Services achieved Safecontractor accreditation and became a Living Wage Employer. The company employs 30 people and has offices in Hull, Newbury and London.
