All thre very best with this! It's needed.
I do hope that firms who are not delivering National Standard training will no longer be able to access the Dft money. We badly need a purge of poor practice. We all know who i'm talking about... Well in London we do at any rate.
As long as firms can sign off their own instructors via the ITO system, there will be a problem. Standards need to be INDEPENDANTLY checked not self checked. Those falling below standard need to change and that should include training standards and standards of employment. As constructed, cycle training does not offer a viable career with most firms. How will we build a professional industry if we are not offering a real profession?
