100% ThisCorrect, EXISTING members are fine. Unfortunately those on the verge of registering have been hit with additional training requirements and cost.
An NVQ L3 for domestic work is excessive. Demanding NVQ L2 with perhaps 18th and 2392 would make more sense I feel. At level 3 you are working with 3P boards, DOL starters and so on, what on earth does that have to do with moving a few sockets about.
Another cash-grab.
I did a full level 3 apprenticship and about 60% of what we did has absolutely nothing to do with the domestic sector.
We need to clearly separate the domestic house badger from the industrial badger
Asking domestic badgers to complete a level 3 full apprenticeship is totally OTT and nothing more than a cash grab
