Level 3 NVQ In Occupational Work Supervision For Elena Rezmerita Of Mac Roofing & Contracting
GQA Qualifications and its approved centre , Absolute Training Solutions are lauding the achievements of Elena Rezmerita , having supported her in the attainment of a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision . The 42-year-old London-based Quality Assurance Manager is an employee of MAC Roofing & Contracting Ltd .
» COMMENTING ON HER NVQ success , Sean Monaghan of Absolute Training Solutions said :
“ The standard of work has been excellent throughout her learner journey and her attention to detail when it comes to Health and Safety is the best I ’ ve seen . Elena was the ideal candidate for the Level 3 NVQ diploma as her job role covered many of the units and elements within the qualification . When we gathered the requisite evidence and carried out our assessments , it was clear that Elena was not only very competent within her job function , but she was able to produce excellent evidence to cover the NVQ-relevant criteria . I was there as the Independent Quality Assessor to observe the process and see at first hand the standard of the assessment visit .
“ The quality of work produced , and the excellent portfolio of evidence has inspired us to aim even higher with our NVQ delivery . Based on Elena ’ s achievement , we are now accredited to offer higher level NVQ qualifications in site supervision ( level 4 ) and site management ( level 6 ). The aim will be to offer level 6 to Elena in the future .”
Speaking for GQA , the awarding and qualifications-writing organisation , Jim Gregory ( EQA ) said :
“ Currently only 15 % of the UK construction industry is female , according to figures from the Office for National Statistics . This makes Elena ’ s achievement of successfully completing the GQA Occupational Work Supervision level 3 NVQ not only something she should be proud of , but helps to change the perception of women in the construction industry .” Elena Rezmerita added : “ I strongly believe that certification should be mandatory in the construction industry . Vocational qualifications are not only a great means of developing a person ’ s career , but they help to prove that people are competent , and therefore assist in driving up standards in the industry . In order to apply for an NVQ , people have to prepare and be committed , and the end result is worth the effort .
“ For me , having the extra credibility that this qualification affords is really important . Would you believe me when I say that I spent twenty years in the beauty industry ? I worked as a make-up artist for MAC Cosmetics and I ’ m now with MAC Roofing – talk about a bizarre co-incidence ! To move from beauty to construction was a leap . I started out doing admin , and then progressed from there , gaining my CSCS card , and gradually gaining on-site experience until I was even tasked with more of a supervisory role on a large cladding project .
“ Over time , my work transitioned to quality assurance . I ’ ve worked on some pretty large schemes , including Kings College Hospital from which most of the evidence required as part of my NVQ application derived . A few years ago , there were barely any female site managers , and not many women in supervisory roles on building sites . Today , this is changing , and I ’ m very proud to be part of this changing picture . Achieving this qualification helps to reaffirm that I ’ m ‘ up to the job ’, and I ’ d encourage anyone to go for it .
“ Absolute Training Solutions were very patient with me . They sent me a brief , and outlined all the requirements . They let me work at my own pace and I ’ m very grateful for their support .”
