MTC Card

[DHFrames]

I done mine online at home, the examiner sat behind me all the way through

One month to go, are we all in the MTC Club?
Many many fitters down this way not bothering to do it, let's see what the outcome is

Emailed the chairman of the group I work for and he advised we have till June 2015 and as you say June is soon upon us and its all gone quiet , I'll ring him in the week see what's what

Yes Ive got my shiny £300 plastic card

 

[ronniecabers]

Our guys got his too....had an onsite inspection , but then sat the examine in our office...no representative of Certass present

Know of somedoing it through Fensa that have had to sit in a ' class room ' with others and take test

 

[crank39]

The certass site says you do the online assessment in your own time so by that I think it means at home, obviously the onsite assessment will require a certass rep to be there

Is there any kind of database available where you can search for installers who are compliant in your area?

 

[God]

Not taken the test, not been asked to take it, not had or heard anything from fensa. I believe it is another money making scheme so will be in no rush to take it

 

[ronniecabers]

Whats the chances of a customer ever asking to see it...as far as money making goes , I agree, of course it is....

Strikes me that the MTC card isn't worth **** now and just shows what a complete mockery the MTC card is and Fensa... Efectively they are saying that they will act like building control and sign it off, so building control obvioulsy doesn't need the MTC either . So no offence to small companies that do the job right, but the ' cowboys ' will still be there. just because Fensa will inspect it after doesn't mean that the winodw fitter actually knew what they were doing...........

Whole thing has just been completely undermined..........

What an F'in joke

Makes a mockery of it. I wonder whether Certass will follow suit.
This articles got it about right.

Congratulations to Fensa on setting up another loophole for the cowboys to dance through.
Will Certass follow suit?

 

[ronniecabers]

Certass will have to follow unfortunately. ... The whole scheme is now dead in the water, and I want our companies money back!.... I also notice they don't have to offer an IBG , so why should we?

Congratulations for wasting everybody's time , effort and money Fensa!

But what can we do about it????
