South Worcestershire College Celebrates 20 Years of Lpg

The Energy Training Centre at South Worcestershire College, formally known as Evesham & Malvern Hills College, is celebrating 20 years of lp gas training and assessment. The college launched lpg gas training in 1990 through the ACOP scheme under the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), now known as the Construction Skills Certification Scheme.

In 2004, the Learning and Skills Council for Gas Safety Training awarded the Centre Of Vocational Excellence Award to the Energy Centre and, with the support of local heating and plumbing businesses to assist students, the centre now provides NVQs and apprenticeships for young people in and around the counties of Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire.

College principal Michael O’Brien said: “These developments will continue to strengthen the college’s commitment to the heating and plumbing industry, in addition to providing a fully comprehensive and well equipped training facility.”
