It still brings the whole training and qualification process in to doubt. Its demoralising to find people who can't do the job they hold a qualification in getting paid the same or even more than you.
This whole NVQ and assessment process was supposed to qualify people with a proven ability to do the job whether its scaffolding. hairdressing or making a cup of tea.
Amazing to find out it has been a disaster especially when the people who brought the scheme in effectively made experienced scaffolders with ECITB cards labourers again!
Maybe they need to think again.
