Hi Steve
The biggest bone of contention I have with the way the C.I.T.B run their schemes is the fact that they don't let the trainees finish their training. They are taken up to NVQ level 2 or basic part 2 and then nothing. I've said on another thread about all this and it really gets my back up, what is the point of a semi qualified workforce.. I've even got the paperwork for my trainees' third year of training, but have been told point blank that they wont be receiving the training. I understand the point that some people have of a young twenty something telling a forty year old how to do the job, but does this not show how long this has been going on. I think they should be given the training on the third year and then be assessed on site shall we say two or three times a year over the following three years by a competent,qualified scaffolder and then do the final assessment and receive their cards if they pass the assessment. it would both show that they remember what they have been taught and show that they use pest practice on the job..
Rant ended :wacko::wacko:
