C&G 2919 EV Charging. What a con.

Yes, I would certainly be asking for my money back and reporting to C&G as the required quality and impertiality process is obviously lacking, both the tutor and centre need dealt with. Im afraid this has always been present in technical training and vocational assessmnets if its a requirement that practitioners in industry possess certain qualifications. With some  commercial centres, its stack them high sell them cheap and for those they often cut down on the expected or indicated teaching/learning hours to save on costs, also certain assessments that are meant to be 1:1 are assessed with more candidates, its all to save cost and increase profit.

With electrical contractors where would the vast majority spend their money with a training organisation indicating a high pass rate, can do the training and assessment in a day and outcome a nice shiny C&G or other awarding body cert, or go to another training provider a lower success rate two day training course for the same qualification. Withoutdoubt those in charge of the money pick the quickest and cheapest.

Result is those that are then “Given” the qualifications or did not achieve on their own merit are not only a danger to themselves and those then using or operating future electrical installs they carry out, when those people are found out to be less than competant but Hey they can say they have the cert it devalues the whole awarding body scheme.

C&G and other awarding bodies must know it goes on, I think there needs to be far more unannounced quality assurance visits or “Mystery Shoppers/Delegates” to sort out these dodgy operators.

I will leave everybody with a thought, would you go on a flight where you know the pilot and co-pilot were “Given” their pilots licence? is a technical/competancy electrical training/assessment course any diffrent?
