Lanzarote Relocation

We’ve just  completed a website for a service that I genuinely believe has the potential to be a great benefit to many in Lanzarote, and throughout Spain!

Shirley Fletcher who until recently was living on the island, and has now moved to the Peninsula has set up Fletcher Europe, an extension of her UK business Fletcher Consultancy, a market leading training and development company (who deliver over 2500 NVQs each year). Through Fletcher Europe Shirley is bringing UK NVQ qualifications to Spain.

For those not familiar with NVQs, they are a work based qualification which are assessed on proven competences and observations of performance in the workplace. For companies, NVQs have been proven to improve productivity and staff retention, and for individuals the NVQ qualification will open up new opportunities.

Okay, we should all speak fluent Spanish – but many of us don’t. And, due to this, education and training opportunities are limited for our kids post school without the ability to speak Spanish fluently – the introduction of the NVQ will now allow them to further their education whilst here. Additionally, should they have to return home for any reason, they will have obtained a UK recognized qualification.

Fletcher Eaurope are offering NVQ qualifications in;

• Administration
• Contact Centre
• Customer Service
• Hospitality
• Learning and Development
• Management
• Sales

We think this is a fantastic idea and a great step forward, and we wish Shirley every success!
