Logic Certification approves top UK smart metering academy

Logic Certification has joined forces with the provider of metering services, CH4 Services, helping the firm to become fully accredited to deliver its QCF Level 2 Diploma in Smart Metering Power.

The qualification was first launched in response to an industry need to meet the demand for the installation of 50 million smart gas and electricity meters in 27 million homes by 2020, and is designed to equip learners with all they need to install and exchange gas and/or power smart meters in domestic properties; it is also suitable for existing installers looking to up-skill.

Mark Krull, director at Logic Certification, added: "We are delighted to have assisted CH4 Services in developing their business into the smart metering sector; a move that will help directly address the gap within the sector for trained smart meter operatives.

"Smart meter technology is to play a huge part in the future of our homes, giving consumers the means to better control, and understand, their consumption of energy. What's important right now is that training facilities are geared up and ready to offer the appropriate smart metering qualifications to support the industry and develop a workforce of highly competent operatives."

David Burke, business development manager for CH4 Services, added: "We were looking to partner with an awarding body that had the same ethos and culture that mirrored our own, in terms of valuing best practice with a view to producing excellent results from all learners that pass through the academy. After we met the Logic Certification team, we knew they were the kind of people we could, and wanted to, work with.

"Logic Certification's qualifications fit our strategy moving forward; we've had our first batch of learners through who successfully passed, which is a great achievement to learners, trainers and assessors, who have all had to go through a period of learning to become qualified."
