BPMA’s initiative in e-learning

27 January, 2022

Some years ago, the British Pump Manufacturers’ Association – the organisation which represents the interests of UK and Irish suppliers of liquid pumps - launched an initiative in e-learning for the pump industry. It was reportedly the first suite of truly independent pumping technology training.


Independently accredited and quality-controlled by the NOCN these courses are offered in accordance with Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examination’s Regulation). It is thought to be the first such accreditation for the pump sector globally. The initiative also forms part of the UK government's educational framework.

NOCN is a market-leading international Awarding Organisation (AO) and Government-approved End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) that has been creating opportunities for 30 years. NOCN Group includes NOCN, NOCN India Skills Foundation, C Skills Awards and One Awards. for more information, go to www.nocn.org.uk
