Technical Training Centre achieves PASMA-approval for Working at Heights training
FMG Repair Services is scaling new heights as its dedicated Technical Training Centre has become a PASMA registered and approved training centre. This means the Centre in Goole is now fully qualified to deliver the nationally recognised PASMA training syllabus, the safety standard for working from heights.
PASMA training is in demand across all industries as employees working at heights above 2.5m must have the correct training to stay safe and compliant. With 65 vehicle body repair centres across the UK, FMG Repair Services requires PASMA qualified technicians at every site to safely repair vehicle roofs or tall LCVs.
FMG Repair Services’ dedicated Technical Training Centre provides an all-encompassing range of vehicle repair courses covering panel, paint, welding, ADAS, glass and EV repair, with courses tailored to all vehicle repair technicians, from new entrants and apprentices to long-serving vehicle repairers. The new PASMA approval allows the Centre to deliver training and assessment in the safe and compliant use of low-level access platforms and high-level scaffold towers.
Paul Wrigglesworth, Operations Director at FMG Repair Services said, “Our technical training centre plays a major role in training, mentoring and recertifying highly competent and skilled vehicle repair technicians using state of the art equipment. We are delighted to achieve PASMA certification to add Working at Heights training and assessment to our range of courses as this is a natural fit for the demands of this industry with the increasing popularity of LCVs and high top vehicles.”
The ethos behind the award-winning Technical Training Centre is to close that skills gap in the automotive repair industry by expertly preparing and future-proofing the next generation of vehicle repairers. The Centre is IMI-accredited (Institute of Motor Industry) and has hosted the National Qualifiers for the Body Repair rounds of the prestigious IMI Skills Competition for the past four years.
