30/31 certificate delay time - 2 months+?

[blazer]

I took my cs30/31 on the 22 March but still haven't had the certificate come through yet, I checked with the college and was told NPTC are running abit slow - have others had simular delays?

A bit slow I took my cs38 last year september and only got it in may this year

Yeah, they are running on a backlog at the moment. You should have a bit of paper that works in the meantime though.

This has been an issue with NPTC now for many years. I took my MEWP ticket in June 2007 and did'nt get my card until Jan 2008, so two months is nothing. You should have got a receipt signed by your assessor the day you passed your assessment, keep that safe and its all the proof you need until you get your official card (probably sometime this autumn!!).

 

Why are these public bodies that organise these kind of things always so apparently pitifully poor at organising these kind of things? This situation has been ongoing for years and yet nobody at NPTC seems able or willing to do anything about it. I know its not a life or death situation but how can any organisation be so continuously unproductive and inefficient and still survive unapposed and unchanged? The world is run by muppets! Sorry for derail rant.....

I though I would call them after a month or two. Perhaps I will leave it a bit longer before I start making calls on this basis. Nagging them won't get me anywhere.

It's like everything when it's public money no one cares.

 

If them running bad cost someone money then it would be different.

Thanks for the info, I didn't mention the college as it's not their problem then.

I'm just suprised and feel sad for their staff always running late with people chasing up.

 

Ok I'm an 'oldie', the last city & guilds I took was 40 yrs ago with every thing done by hand and the certificate came through quickly.
