There is a demand for people with occupational expertise to become vocational and end point assessors for finishing and interiors occupations.  More colleges and independent training providers are now preparing to deliver apprenticeships and other training programmes for Dryliners, Ceiling Fixers, Partition Installers and Plasterers, people with experience are now required to pass on their skills and knowledge to the next generation of operatives.

 If you feel you have reached that point in your career when it’s time to give something back, vocational and end point assessment is definitely worth considering.  You will need good interpersonal, administrative and organisational skills and the more occupational experience you have the better you will be equipped to assess an individual’s skills and knowledge.  Being a part of people’s development and witnessing their success is very rewarding.  If you are interested please visit https://www.nwskillsacademy.co.uk/ or call 0161 442 4344.
