About Ann Cook

She has written the Technical content, Practical Assignments and GOLA questions for the Painting & Decorating Diplomas, after being approached by ConstructionSkills and City & Guilds (Construction Awards Alliance) to do so.

Ann Cook Associates' assessment centre has recently been further accredited, to deliver the new Heritage Skills (Decorative Occupations) Level 3, and Occupational Work Supervision Level 3, which is in addition to the well established delivery of OSAT and EWPA in Painting & Decorating.

Ann has designed this series of Seminars, to assist Centres / Staff who will be involved in the delivery of the new Diplomas, based on the same idea as the previously successful Seminars which helped assessment teams with the introduction of the Magenta scheme of NVQs. Read more about Ann Cook.
