Am I missing the point here, but is this just a paid pre-qualification for the AA scheme? I am struggling to see any benefits for the investment. It is a mentorship scheme perhaps?

Hi Pete, it's certainly not a paid pre-qualification route, although I can understand why you might interpret as such as it is specifically developed to assist and guide contractors to ARB Approved Contractor status. However it's entirely optional and perhaps appeals to those who aren't sure how best to approach this and wish to benefit by partnering with us to seek guidance and assistance.

 

It's not mentoring in a one-to-one sense but we can put Affiliate Contractors in contact with current ArbACs if they so wish.

 

We're keen to maintain contact and offer support and guidance to the many contractors who attend the preparation workshops, thereby having demonstrated an interest in getting approved, but then go away at the end of the day and too often never quite get round to sorting things ready for assessment.

 

Hope this clarifies things a bit n it is "early days" so anymore good suggestions to improve things are most welcomed...thank you

Not officially...until ARB Approved but we do have some nice "AA Supporter" car stickers that come with the membership.

One of the other key benefits will be networking, both with the Association itself and with other contractor members.

 

Obviously here on forum presents a fabulous networking opportunity but not always n wholly ARB Approval focused

 

Thanks for yer posts
