AEME Ltd Training Courses: A Gateway to Competency and Career Advancement in the Ventilation Industry
As the ventilation and fire safety sector evolves, the demand for skilled technicians has never been higher. With the removal of Industry Accreditation (“Grandfather Rights”) in December 2024, there is an urgent need for accessible, structured pathways to formal qualifications. AEME Ltd, in partnership with the NAADUK Training Academy, addresses this challenge head-on by offering two-day intensive training courses designed to equip new entrants with hands-on technical experience in ductwork and fire dampers—a critical first step toward achieving a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) and ensuring long- term career success.
Bridging the Skills Gap: Two-Day Courses as a Launchpad
For newcomers to the ventilation industry, AEME’s two-day courses provide a streamlined yet comprehensive introduction to ductwork, fire damper inspections, and compliance standards. These courses are intentionally structured to democratize access to technical expertise, allowing novices to gain practical skills rapidly while laying the groundwork for advanced qualifications. Day
1 focuses on foundational
knowledge, including: • Core principles of ventilation systems and fire safety regulations (e.g., NAAD-21, NAAD-22, TR19). • Compliance requirements for insurers, clients, and fire safety officers. • Best practices for accurate reporting and fault resolution.
Day 2 transitions to immersive, hands-on training, where participants tackle real-world scenarios under the guidance of instructors with over 50 years of combined industry experience. This practical component ensures technicians can confidently address on-site challenges, from diagnosing ductwork issues to executing fire damper inspections.
Pathway to SVQ: Aligning with National Occupational Standards
AEME’s collaboration with the NAADUK Training Academy ensures these short courses align with National Occupational Standards (NOS), creating a clear progression route to the SVQ—a nationally recognized certification that validates competency. This partnership is pivotal as the industry shifts away from Grandfather Rights, which previously allowed experienced workers to bypass formal training. The SVQ pathway works as follows: 1. Two-Day Foundation Course: Rapid skill acquisition and immediate employability. 2. On-Site Experience: Graduates
apply their training in real-world settings, building a portfolio of evidence. 3. Vocational Assessment: NAADUK assessors evaluate competency against NOS benchmarks, culminating in qualification. This structured approach not
only future-proofs careers but also reassures employers that technicians meet the highest safety and efficiency standards.
