Nations Chief Operating Officer and Director of the School of Technology, Liam O’Toole, explained that “Nations has become a registered centre for City and Guilds to offer courses that will help Guyanese attain international certification in the construction trades. We provide certification to those who have the skill set already through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by participating in a one-to-two-day assessment of those skills while also offering courses where the skills are taught to individuals who have no experience.”

Nations School of Technology has partnered with Guyana Oil and Gas Support Services Inc (GOGSSI) to implement the City and Guilds welding, fabrication and pipework courses. These courses also include the RPL assessment, whereby welders who have existing skill sets and hands on experience can receive City and Guilds certification in a 2-day assessment and those without the skills can complete a multi-week training course to gain the knowledge.

Mr. O’Toole stated, “We are excited to have partnered with GOGSSI as together we bring the perfect combination of practical and theoretical knowledge. GOGSSI amongst many others has a need for certified welders and we are thrilled to be partnering with a fellow local Guyanese firm to help support the need for skilled Guyanese to enter the labour force.” Graduates who receive the Awards in Welding, Fabrication and Pipe work will have the skill set for employment within the Oil and Gas, construction and mining sectors in Guyana.
