Learning New Skills at the PointONE Training Centre
PointONE launched its new training centre last month opening its doors for local organisations to view the facilities and discuss the range of courses now on offer. Owner/Director of PointONE, Justine Grimwood, who has been on the Rock for 18 years, and her Training Consultant Marie Rowe, identified the need for personnel to expand their knowledge as the local business sector has grown rapidly in recent years. Her decision to set up an enterprising ‘office solution service’ early last year has proved extremely successful, “Gibraltar has been experiencing tremendous growth in its economy and being such a desirable location more companies

are finding a base here. This becomes even more attractive when organizations are able to source locally based, highly qualified employees.” PointONE’s training is unique as it is in conjunction with the prestigious PITMAN Training brand — training based on solid, proven international standards. The European Computer Driving Licence is now becoming standard throughout Europe, and PointONE is the approved centre for this qualification. Candidates can undertake this training on a flexible basis to fit in with their timetable. Justine has also launched training courses for technical areas such as Health and Safety, and with new large projects planned throughout
Gibraltar over the next few years, launched Prince 2 Project Management and Risk Management Courses last month. With the addition of professional HR qualification CIPD, Financial Training such as AAT, ACCA and CIMA, they are able to offer more than 125 courses. Justine and Marie feel strongly that every individual has the right to learn new skills within their local area, and not feel intimidated or unsuitable. “Our centre is open to corporate clients, but is also open to people of all ages and skill levels, you will always be made to feel welcome and we will take time to discuss with each candidate to see what they want to achieve. We take the time to listen”. n
