Paddeco Ltd, in partnership with the National Association of Air Duct Specialists (NAADUK), are proud to announce the launch of the UK’s first ever SCQF Level 5 Ventilation Hygiene Certificate.

Based on National Occupational Standards for the ventilation industry, working with the Scottish Qualifications Authority to create a customised award which is also credit rated on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), the Certificate guarantees the highest possible standards of competence and compliance.

The ventilation hygiene industry is growing quickly, and, rightly so, there is ever more emphasis on indoor air quality and the cleaning of ventilation systems, a requirement under The Building Regulations, approved document “F” Means of Ventilation.

The recent statement issued by the Construction Leadership Council, following the recommendations from the Grenfell inquiry, will mandate operatives to hold a minimum of a Level 2 qualification within their job role. This Certificate will help them bridge that gap, considering there is currently no Level 2 (SCQF Level 5) qualification available for the industry.
