My Qualifications & Standards
At Newton Caravan Services, safety and compliance aren’t optional - they’re built into every job. I hold CSA and STGW certifications, with training delivered by the NCC Academy, the UK’s leading provider of technical education for the caravan industry. Even though I’m not yet formally AWS-accredited, I follow AWS standards in full - including safety checks, documentation, and inspection protocols. Every caravan is serviced personally by me, with no delegation and no shortcuts. Click any image below to view certification.

Engineering Foundations & Technical Training
Before founding Newton Caravan Services, I spent over 25 years in precision engineering - diagnosing faults, rebuilding CNC machinery, and maintaining complex systems. That experience is backed by formal qualifications in mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing disciplines.
I hold National Vocational Qualifications at Level 2 and Level 3 in Engineering Maintenance. These cover safe working practices, technical communication, bench fitting, fault diagnosis, component replacement, and complex reassembly of engineering systems.
My college training includes a BTEC National Certificate in Engineering from The Sheffield College, with modules in CAD/CAM, electrical principles, mechanical systems, and engineering drawing. I also hold a BTEC Higher National Certificate in Manufacturing Engineering, which includes advanced training in engineering science, analytical methods, project management, and design.
I completed a Modern Apprenticeship in Engineering Foundation through NLT Training Services Ltd, with a focus on practical engineering skills and workplace safety. In addition, I hold Level 2 Key Skills certifications in communication, IT, numeracy, and teamwork - all awarded by EMTA Awards Ltd.
These qualifications form the foundation of my hands-on approach to caravan servicing. They allow me to diagnose subtle faults, validate safety-critical systems, and deliver a level of care that goes beyond routine checks.
