SIAS, a leading Awarding Organisation for science, manufacturing, engineering and low carbon industries and CATCH, a leading apprenticeship and training provider in the Humber region, are delighted to announce that CATCH has officially become the second SIAS Approved Centre.
This achievement, following closely after SIAS’s launch as a full Awarding Organisation in September, highlights both organisations’ commitment to raising standards in training, qualification provision, and assessment within STEM industries.
Steve Smith, Managing Director of SIAS, said: “We are thrilled that CATCH has become our second Approved Centre post our move to full AO status, and will be delivering our new suite of L2/3 regulated Qualifications in Process Industry Manufacturing.
“This is a major milestone for both organisations and reflects our mutual dedication to delivering high standards in STEM training and qualification provision, aligned to labour market demand across what are key industries for the UK economy.”
“CATCH’s approval follows a thorough review process that ensured they are fully equipped to deliver SIAS qualifications effectively. It also builds on a strategic partnership established in 2023 between SIAS and CATCH, to support apprenticeships and employers across the Humber region through provision of EPA services.”
Eve McIntosh, Head of Outreach and Engagement at CATCH, shared: “We’re proud to be one of the first providers approved to deliver SIAS qualifications. This approval strengthens our relationship with SIAS and underscores our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, industry-relevant training that meets the evolving needs of the sector.”
The partnership is effective immediately, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in apprenticeship and training excellence for the Humber region.
