Gas training company Brookhouse Training has struck gold.

The Cleckheaton-based firm has been granted Gold Status by the sector skills council, Utility & Skills, for its Managed Learning Programme (MLP) in gas training.

The only training company in the UK to receive this award, Brookhouse Training was assessed by the Independent Assessment Service (IAS) against new protocol called the Standards for Training in Gas, which details exactly what must be included in a MLP.

David Dumaresq-Lucas, director at Brookhouse Training said: “We were assessed across our entire facility. Nothing was left out of this intensive and demanding assessment and I’m very pleased to report we have not only achieved Gold Status but we are the first in the UK to have an IAS approved Managed Learning Programme. I thank our entire team for their hard work and diligence in helping to achieve this.”
