Hmmmm this is not really ever going to go anywhere. My son is an apprentice mechanic with Honda. He trained for two years at college to IMI standards, not enough for Honda. He is currently on a 3 yr apprenticeship, to qualify to their standard as a basic mechanic, then he does another year (if he wants) to be a Diagnostic Technician, then he can do another year to become a Master Technician. The current rate for a Master Tech is I believe £16 p/hr, that will take him 7 years training to attain, he could have skipped the IMI 2 yr course, but it stood in good stead. A climber can train on a 10 week course and is ticketed to work. I'm not saying a top of his game, skilled climber, but a climber nonetheless, so £9 p/hr is about right in the employed status.

 

Think your son needs to move to NZ or Oz as mechanic's of that caliber are payed very well!Must just be a British thing for paying bad wages!.

We will never be regulated!!!!

 

It will not happen!!!

 

People can bleat on about it till the cows come home, but its not going to happen.

 

Remember that street that was blown up, killing a baby and injuring others, thats what happens when gas goes wrong, hardly comparable with a poorly pruned tree.

 

Mechanics are not regulated, they can rebuild the brakes on a car or truck that vehicle then disappears down the road, if that goes wrong dozens could be killed.

 

The main person we put at risk from poor practice is ourselves, there are any number of other activities that put other people at risk that would need regulating before ours came anywhere near the radar of the powers that be, IMO.

 

Quite so Huck, and long may it continue
