Although currently voluntary, it is likely that all technicians will be required to achieve accreditation in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Demand for the accreditation continues to rise as dairy farmers seek to work with professional technicians to maximise parlour efficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s engineering department has worked closely with the MEA to create a bespoke modular course held over four blocks that offers the latest practical and technical information on all aspects of parlour management, from dynamic testing and cow welfare to health and safety and building design.<\/p>\n<p>Course Leader Mike Cullen explained: \u201cParlour Safe provides a means of benchmarking and assessing the competence of technicians employed within the milking equipment sector. The MEA has established this scheme so it offers respected and professional accreditation to the highest standards and we\u2019ve worked in partnership to ensure that the syllabus is credible, challenging and meets the needs of its industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs well as giving nationally recognised status to its engineers, the accreditations set a benchmark for installation and servicing standards and provide a clear career development path which will attract young engineers into the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IAgrE CEO Ed Hansom commented: \u201cThe Parlour Safe scheme is fast becoming the benchmark standard for the milking equipment industry and delivers well-trained, competent, safe and reliable technicians. The quality of Reaseheath\u2019s training is exemplary and its engineering department is thoroughly deserving of IAgrE accreditation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MEA Chief Executive Ruth Bailey said: \u201cI am thrilled for everyone involved in Parlour Safe that it has received this prestigious status from IAgrE acknowledging the expertise and technical abilities of milking machine engineers and technicians. It is critical that we validate our professionals and offer the assurances that the sector is looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our current fifth cohort of Parlour Safe Category 3 technicians comprises 12 professionals from throughout the UK and Northern Ireland. All have Parlour Safe Category 2 due to previous experience and include technicians who work for leading milking parlour manufacturers DeLaval, Fullwood, GEA UK, Lely and BouMatic or for their dealerships. Other students include a dairy vet and an engineer keen to expand his knowledge of robotics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parlour Safe, the Milking Equipment Association\u2019s (MEA) industry training scheme for engineers and technicians, has been accredited by the Institution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE) in recognition of its professional quality and the standard of its training.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":95723,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
