Over 130 Premier Guarantee staff across the UK will enjoy face-to-face sessions on the Competency Training Tour
As Premier Guarantee prepares for the new competency requirements per the Building Safety Act, the Competency Training Tour has kicked off.
The training tour days will cover the background and current competency landscape, resulting practical implications and legal and procedural functions related to building control.
The competency training tour is more than a box-ticking exercise
Technical Competency Manager Natalia Thomas Alvarez will be sharing her insight along with Senior Regulatory Specialist Matt Shum.
Natalia says that this ‘training tour’ makes sure that staff are truly engaged in the learning process rather than seeing it as simply a mandatory obligation.
“We don’t believe that the competency regime is or should be considered a tick box exercise,” said Natalia.
“We want surveyors to think about their roles in changing the culture towards competency in the industry, and reflect on their own legacy; influencing others and being part of a change movement.”
“We not only want surveyors to leave the day understanding why competency is vital we want to give them a good grounding on the legal requirements that underpin the building regulations and associated guidance.
“We also have a practical session covering Approved Document M and how we can assess compliance on site.
“All in all, we are bringing together varying levels of warranty and BC surveyors together to share knowledge and kick start our competency campaign, with a united front.”
