Apprentice End Point Assessment – ICATS/CORREX

The most recent ICorr, ICATS apprentices have been deeply affected by Covid over the last 18 months. With college staff being unwell leading to eventual loss of staff and students unable to attend college and other factors, the final End Point Assessment was carried out on the 20th July with one student only.

That student, Rory Voulgar, was a credit to himself and the Jack Tighe organisation for seeing it through to completion.
The day started with the professional discussion between myself, John Moody, BINDT, and ICATS senior trainer Robert Hurley and of course Rory.

Rory’s answers were clear and concise, and he remained so for the hour duration discussion.

This was followed by the practical session to test Rory’s preparation and application skills. Once more he was able to demonstrate all the skills necessary to become a fully trained ICATS apprentice.
After completion of the EPA, we were very proud to announce to Rory he had achieved the grade of ‘distinction’.

Other news
With all Covid restrictions removed our work at the larger asset owners and projects has resumed once more, and this is particularly true of the nuclear facility Sellafield in Cumbria. I recently visited Sellafield to see Eddie Blackmore, Jacobs Coatings Manager, who will be teaching all of the ICATS courses from the Jacobs main office at Sellafield. This is an amazing development for ICATS and we look forward to working with Eddie on his quest to progress all things paint and quality.

I have started travelling once more to visit our clients and further develop ICATS. I am also being helped in this by David Mobbs and senior ICATS trainer Robert Hurley.
