Training DeliveryNPL sets the standards for metrology in the UK. The primary objective of NPL’s training courses is to encourage learners to make a difference within their workplaces. NPL training is supported by a technical committee of measurement equipment suppliers, trade associations, manufacturing organisations, trainers, educational establishments and National Skills Academies. The NPL training framework is approved by EAL Ltd, (part of SEMTA) and validated by the National Skills Academy for Manufacturing (NSA-M). The training courses are delivered nationally and internationally by NPL accredited training providers.Level 1Training is divided into four levels covering ‘Measurement Users’ through to ‘Measurement Definers’Measurement UserUses measurement knowledge and expertiseMeasurement ApplierApplies measurement knowledge and expertise Measurement Developer Develops and extends measurement knowledge and expertise Measurement DefinerDefines new and leading edge application of measurement knowledge Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
