SQA approval lets Jones Bros offer more courses

Jones Bros has been approved to deliver industry specific qualifications from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).

The approval comes after the civil engineering firm invested £10,000 to upgrade its training centre to allow re-assessments of highways maintenance workers.

Jones Bros said an area of the training centre has been set aside for the courses, which are targeted at operators and supervisors working within the public and private sectors.
Training manager, Richard Owen, said, “We strive for the continual progression of our training centre and this has been acknowledged with approval from the SQA.
“We are passionate about our training and apprenticeship schemes at Jones Bros.
“While we’ve been offering external training for several years, we’re pleased to extend our package of training courses to the highways sector.
“Our flexibility enables us to go to our clients as well as them attending the training centre.”
