15th October 2019

Fenestration awarding body GQA Qualifications has announced the acquisition of PAA/VQ-Set, the awarding body for the polymer, engineering, chemical, pharmaceutical and nuclear industries.

The move means that GQA now offers qualifications for those working with polymers as well as in the practical disciplines of surveying, fabrication, installation, sales, management and curtain walling and façade technology.

GQA’s says PAA/VQ-Set complements its other areas of specialist expertise, which includes glass, fenestration, construction and print. Its qualifications will now be managed by GQA, and delivered through the established ‘Approved Centre Network’ for these industries.

GQA chief executive Mick Clayton (pictured) said: “With its qualifications in polymer manufacturing technologies and polymer operations, PAA/VQ-Set is a perfect fit with GQA. The acquisition is part of our goal to widen our portfolio of vocational qualifications, and underpins our ongoing strategy of growth to be known for providing industry relevant learning”.

In the glass and fenestration industries, GQA has over twenty five years’ experience and is the only awarding body licensed to offer CSCS cards in those sectors.
