First BOS Skills academy launched
14th January 2020

The new Building Our Skills academy, the first of a planned network of facilities to offer hands-on practical training in the fenestration Industry, has been officially opened in Sheffield by Lord Blunkett.

Established in association with GQA Qualifications and supported by a large number of key Fenestration Industry employers, the academy will include surveying, window and door installation, curtain wall and glass technology, in addition to theoretical training courses.

GQA CEO Mick Clayton said: “To be able to make the new academy a reality is absolutely fantastic. I am over the moon that we are going to be able to bring more opportunities than ever to those in the fenestration industry who seek career progression.

“This is the start of a proposed extensive network of facilities around the country that will help to raise standards in the industry, and I for one can’t wait to see it fully utilised.”
