Can I transfer my certification to Centre for Assessment?

We have plenty of experience working with transfer clients, ensuring that their necessary audits take place so that there is no gap in their certification. All you simply need to do is contact us and let us know that you are looking to transfer your certification to us. 

Finally, what do our clients say about EN 1090? 

“EN 1090 gives us credibility as a fabricator and it has improved our processes, especially in the area of welding. We plan and undertake fabrication with quality customer satisfaction at the forefront of all we do. Completely satisfied that it was the correct path to follow.” Radio Tower Engineering 

“The standard itself ensures that we maintain a high level of quality control and also provides a means of allowing us to constantly review, and where appropriate, to further improve our systems and processes. The annual audits afford the opportunity for an independent assessor to review these systems and procedures and to suggest any possible changes that might improve our performance against the standard.” Andrew Hicks Engineering Ltd
