With hundreds of thousands of students receiving their A Level and GSCE results this month, National Windscreens is reminding school leavers of the value of NVQ Qualifications when considering career choices.

National Windscreens supports all of its technicians in completing the GQA Qualifications Level 2 and Level 3 NVQ diploma in Automotive Glazing.

This consists of both written and practical elements – such as health and safety within the automotive glazing working environment, understanding automotive glazing products, establishing customer requirements and repairing damaged windscreen glass. 

Mark Payne, regional operations director, said: “As a benchmark of competence on a national scale, the NVQ qualification ensures all team members are highly qualified in using the latest skills and knowledge in automotive glazing."

As part of its commitment to continued training and development, National Windscreens also issues ‘top up training’ twice a year to technicians that have achieved the Level 2 or Level 3 NVQ Diploma, to ensure all skills and knowledge are maintained and any problem areas are addressed.

Payne said: “The fact that all of our technicians are qualified to at least NVQ Level 2 means we are able to offer a consistent level of quality for all of the repair and replacement jobs we carry out - benefitting our customers on a national scale.

“Here at National Windscreens we are constantly on the lookout for trainee glazing technicians with a strong desire to learn and the ability to help us continue to set new benchmarks for quality.”
