London UK, 3rd December 2020 – South West London-based, Banham Academy continue to pave the way within the security skills and learning sector with an outstanding achievement received by a Banham Apprentice.

Banham Academy apprentice, Elliot Veheary, has passed the End Point Assessment Level 3 for the Fire, Emergency and Security Systems Apprenticeship Standard. Elliot’s achievements marks a significant milestone, not only for his career, but also for the skills training provider as Elliot is the first Banham Apprentice to pass their assessment at the Banham Academy.

This achievement is a true testament to Banham’s long-standing commitment in investing in young people by providing them with the necessary technical and vocational skills they require to embark on a career within the security and fire industries. Since inception, Banham Academy have had over 100 apprentices successfully enrol on their industry-leading skills and training program. They remain one of the largest industry providers of training in England and were the first End Point Assessment Centre for the Fire, Emergency and Security Systems Apprenticeship Standard.

The End Point Assessment is no mean feat and takes place over two days, involving formal measurement of practical skills; knowledge and behaviors via a professional discussion. Once successfully completed, the apprentice is then able to apply for membership of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, as an Engineering Technician (EngTech). This demonstrates to employers that the person has had their competence independently assessed and their credentials verified. Also, the apprentice will have accredited prior learning for a gold card under the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS).
