CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL
ACCREDITATION
Leading steam solutions provider, Spirax
Sarco, is celebrating three decades of course-
accreditation from City & Guilds Group.
Beginning in 1989, the relationship was
born out of a decision by The Dairy Trade
Federation and City & Guilds to introduce a
skills testing scheme for the validation and
accreditation of maintenance engineers in the
dairy industry. This led to the introduction of
a nationally recognised certificate.
Sally O’Connell, Training Centre Manager at
Spirax Sarco, explains, “At that time, Spirax
Sarco was the only authorised provider of
the Steam Plant Maintenance training for
the scheme. In the 30 years since, we have
continued to develop the course and gain
accreditation for both our Steam Plant
Maintenance and our Steam Boiler Plant
Fundamentals (Shell Boiler) courses.”

“By working with City & Guilds, we have been
able to create tailored courses that meet our
customers’ needs,” says Sally. “As City & Guilds
is a strong quality brand and recognised by
our customers as such, it is fantastic for Spirax
Sarco to be so closely aligned with them.
“The underpinning quality assurance and
credibility within the industry is incredibly
important to us and our customers. Having
our courses accredited by City & Guilds
therefore provides us with a unique selling
point for our training offering and ensures
that our delivery remains consistently high,”
Sally says. Kirstie Donnelly, Managing Director
at City & Guilds Group continues, “City &
Guilds is a world leader in skills development
with 140 years of unrivalled experience. Our
purpose is to enable people, organisations
and economies to develop their skills for
growth.
We are proud to have maintained a
relationship with Spirax Sarco for three
decades, accrediting their skills training
and highlighting the quality process and
credibility that learners are actively looking
for.” “As we move through the coming
decades, we will work to strengthen our
relationship with City & Guilds and bolster the
courses that we put forward for accreditation.
Our aim is to use the knowledge and
expertise on both sides to create suitably
accredited courses for the steam industry”,
Sally concludes.
