Insightful posting Andy, and sadly backs up what many of us have been fearing for too long.

And i hate to say it Mr H, but it's one of the many small causal problems in the grand "circle of life" that the industry has become.

 

Under qualified students = higher accident rate = more H&S hoops to jump through = higher income required to cover costs = equals more opportunity for cheaper newcomers = more opportunity for colleges to capitalize on the supply/demand of the industry = more under qualified students = ...... and so on and so on.

 

Why do you think more people are placing importance on NPTC certs these days??

 

Because until the colleges start getting it right, they're the only means to prove competency.

 

And the more NPTCs are required, the more the academic knowledge base at that practical level is diminished.

 

 

Just one big vicious circle.

Please tell me the LAW to which you are referring!!!

 

By implication (sort of), the H&SWA.

 

Although from a more inadvertent "arse covering" perspective, than a "thou shalt do X.Y and Z" perspective.
