For Taylor, who is directly involved with the installation of compressed air products, the DipCAM qualification has already had real benefits: “Even though I have been a service engineer for quite a while, I was surprised at how much I learnt while preparing for the exams,” he said. “It really made me look at the latest products and the way that those products can be best utilised and installed so that ultimately, I can provide customers with a system that performs as it should and is straightforward to maintain. While it took six fairly intensive months to complete and pass the course, it was time well spent because it forced me to focus on how best to do my job.”

To date more than ten members of Thorite staff have achieved a Diploma of Compressed Air Management. The course is overseen by the British Compressed Air Society.
