Instead of a refresher, do an upskill. Do the next course up and it automatically refreshes the one below it

That’s the way to do it ??...... If you have to!

 

I take issue with the principle of refresher training though. It’s a gravy train for accrediting bodies...

 

You can’t “un-learn” something after 5 years - what a ridiculous concept. Does an electrician, dentist,, Masters graduate cease to be qualified after a predetermined timescale? No. You can’t “un-learn.”  

 

Is is it the supposed “hazard” associated with the work? Sorry - that just doesn’t stack up - driving test at 16, drive til age 79+. Well, 1000’s of people per year are killed on the roads. Nothing like that amount from fatal chainsaw injuries so it just doesn’t stack up. 

 

Sorry, not buying the “things change” line either...  Not a credible argument. 

 

Its a cartel!

Think yourself lucky it's every 5 years. I have to refresh one of my tickets every 3 years, no refresher, no work. There isn't anything to up skill to either.
