Suzuki GB employees succeed in skills development through NVQ programme

Skills learning and career development are an important part of Suzuki GB PLC's operations and the company is pleased to celebrate the success of 23 employees who have recently gained National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs). Their achievements fall
within a broad spectrum of training and qualification opportunities that extend all the way from Suzuki's showrooms and service workshops to its administrative offices and warehouses.

The NVQ courses were available to all employees and are designed to help them gain qualifications and training directly relevant to their work. The areas covered include warehousing, business and administration and customer service.

The scheme is supported by the Government through the Skills Funding Agency, and offers a variety of subjects and levels. The NVQ level taken is determined by the individual's job and level of responsibility and in order to gain the qualification, they need to meet criteria based on their area of work.

Each NVQ level comprises a technical certificate, which is a test of the individual's knowledge of their occupational area, key English and Maths skills and a work book that covers employment rights and responsibilities.

"The ability to offer these qualifications to our staff is a real motivator, and the commitment shown by all in achieving their NVQs has been very impressive. While the government reviews its funding programme, Suzuki GB remains focused on development activities that will help the business and its employees to continue their growth," said HR Manager at Suzuki GB in Milton Keynes, Pete Smith.

Suzuki GB's NVQ programme is provided by specialist training partner NVQ Business Solutions LLP.
