SASL and parent body Cogent have been seeking to expand the range of products and to enhance the service we are able to provide to polymer businesses.
We are therefore pleased to confirm that we are in advanced negotiations to sell SASL’s awarding rights to the process industry awarding body PAA\VQ-SET.

The National Skills Academy Process
Industries is a unique network of
employer-led centres of excellence for
skills training. It will provide a means
for hands-on involvement by employers
in the design and delivery of learning,
so that training is tailored to the specific
needs of the Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals,
and Polymer industries.
Cogent would like to highlight and draw your attention to this important UK Skills for Science national conference to be held on Tuesday 17 July 2007 in York.
