ISO 9001

I am very pleased to announce that after a lot of work, PTT have been awarded ISO 9001 accreditation from BSI.  What this means in plain English is that we now have a Quality Policy which ensures all our procedures and policies meet required standards and that we have checks in place to ensure that all our students get the training of the highest quality.

We also have another nice certificate to display in the main office!

New Marketing Initiatives

We have had excellent results from the December 2391-10 course - some 85.7% of our students passed the written element of the exam, with 100% also passing the practical element.

To try and increase the impact of our webiste, a three-minute video has been commissioned.  It will be shot on Wednesday this week and should appear on YouTube and our webiste in a couple of weeks.

Look out for us in Hello Magazine and on red carpets later in the year!

Small Scale Embedded Generators (SSEGs)

After consulting with our City & Guilds External Verifier, we have learnt that the present Solar Voltaic qualification is due to be updated and expanded to include other types of SSEG; wind turbines, heat pumps . . . .
Whilst we will continue to develop a course for solar pv we will not 'go live' until the details of the new course become clearer.

In the meantime we are proposing to run a one day lighting course.  Lighting is changing rapidly and some electricians are finding it difficult to advise their customers on the latest technology.  The course will be designed to de-mystify the rather exotic terms in which new lighting systems are described, and include an appreciation of terms such as 'lumens/watt' and 'lux levels.
It is hoped to have working examples of some of the new technology.

I would appreciate feedback from readers on whether they would be interested in such a course.
