Leading UK awards organisation, NOCN, has agreed to purchase the Construction Industry Training Board's awarding body, Cskills Awards.

Staff will continue with their current working arrangements, either at CITB's headquarters in Bircham Newton or as mobile workers, throughout this year.

Sarah Beale, Chief Executive of CITB, said: "The sale of Cskills Awards is the right decision for the construction industry. NOCN has a commitment to continuing to service the breadth of products and services and maintain quality levels. In addition, NOCN will be able to greatly expand the range of qualifications on offer to customers, beyond construction occupations, as they are not subject to the same restrictions as CITB."
