Oxford Energy Academy Directors, Chris Foley and Dave Bendell, recently welcomed BPEC’s Chief Executive Officer, Neil Collishaw, to their training centre when he visited to share BPEC’s latest developments, introduce BPEC’s new Business Development Manager (Angela Gask) and discuss mutual plans for solidifying an already successful partnership.

Oxford Energy Academy, a leading heating and plumbing training and assessment centre, delivers a variety of BPEC qualifications, assessments and learning materials, including the regulated Level 3 Diploma in Plumbing and Domestic Heating qualification, which is a mandatory part of the apprenticeship standard.

“It was great to be able to meet up face to face again. Neil’s visit has confirmed our ongoing confidence in BPEC and consolidated an already strong relationship and mutual respect,” stated Chris. “After all the disruption of the past year, we’re looking forward to celebrating our 10^th anniversary and going from strength to strength.”

As the centre nears 10 years of being an independent training provider, it is also expanding its BPEC services by preparing to deliver BPEC End-point Assessments for the Plumbing and Heating Technician standard.

“I want to congratulate Oxford Energy Academy on its ongoing success and anniversary coming up in September,” said Neil. “It’s always a delight to visit a thriving centre that continues to support BPEC and showcases continual improvement in its teaching standards and methods.”

“We’ve worked closely in partnership with BPEC since our inception and built a strong partnership over the years. It was good to see Neil again to discuss our future plans and give him a tour of our latest training facilities,” Dave said.
