NPL Training sales manager appointed to drive new module

Mr Nash has over 20 years' experience in the manufacturing and metrology industry. Having been a director of HK Technologies and divisional manager of Carl Zeiss’s industrial metrology department, he comes to the role having run his own successful metrology business, Mantech Solutions Ltd NPL is now ready to launch the second module of its dimensional measurement curriculum to industry. “Building on the success of Level 1 is critical,” explains Mr Nash.“We saw tremendous results from industry with companies including Rolls-Royce and Nikon. Feedback showed over 96 per cent of those at Rolls-Royce who took the courses rated them good or excellent. We have to meet this high benchmark with every part of NPL Training’s framework. Level 2 is the next to be made available and we believe it will meet the expectations of companies and training providers alike.” “Waiting lists for NPL Training courses are already commonplace,” says Bryan Carrington, manufacturing engineering, Rolls-Royce. “Our employees recognise NPL Training can help them grow their potential and offer a clear career path to more senior positions. If a graduate wants to become a senior metrologist, we can now offer an accredited way to get there. We’re now looking forward to putting our employees through Level 2.” NPL Training is the UK’s first framework for developing measurement skills. It is a set of training modules and assessments which certify an understanding of the principles of measurement. NPL Training is independent and is backed by industry. It ensures those working on the frontline know how to apply the power of measurement techniques to real problems. It can help companies get more from their workforce and reduce costly mistakes. It aims to raise the overall standard of measurement skills across industry and bring disparate parts of the measurement community together. NPL Training is delivered by an experienced array of training providers including Hexagon, Mitutoyo, LMG and CUE.
