Network Training Services Candidate Wins VQ Learner Of The Year Award

Jason Hole was registered with Network Training Services on GQA Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Fabrication of Glass Supporting Structures in 2011. Jason, a fabricator at Windowbuild in Cardiff, completed the qualification framework in April 2012. Jason's assessor, Steve Kaged, of Network Training Services nominated Mr Hole for the VQ learner of the year award after being impressed by his commitment to and progress through the qualification process.

Steve said: "It was a massive step for Jason to complete this qualification as his literacy skills were very limited and I am very proud that the first letter Jason wrote was about the framework we (Network Training) provided."

Jason added: "I completed my course in April of this year and because Steve and I were always doing something it is now strange being off the course! I suppose I am missing learning, I would like to thank Steve and Network for all their help during my course."
