Posted by Graham Bullock on February 10, 2006, 4:41 pm, in reply to "Re: is it m.o.t testers or vosa it self ??????" By the way, what is the modern equivalent of being Fully skilled? Is it NVQ level 3, 4 or do they do 5? I've been busy trying to keep pace with technology so have lost touch with these things over the years. Graham

Posted by Dave F on February 12, 2006, 11:40 am, in reply to "Re: is it m.o.t testers or vosa it self ??Scarey!" I can hopefully shed a bit of light on this. They also envisage a lift in pay for techs, and garages should able to charge accordingly for the level of tech working on their car. Who knows, maybe we'll finally get paid for what we can do. No disrespect to plumbers but they have a bag of tools that barely change from one end of their careers to the other, while we reinvent ourselves every few months and are scratting for recognition on the pay ladder. Ooops, got upset there !! There is also the issue of insurance. The ATA will most likely become driven by this being a requirement, especially in the courtroom. This may well attract higher insurance costs if garage owners use 'unlicensed' techs. If your in the Preston College area there is an open night this Thursday ( 16th Feb ) inviting the trade in for an insight to the scheme. The IMI will be there doing a presentation and the college is putting on a display of mock practical tests from different levels. I will ask the college if I can post an example of one of the practical tests for the group to see ( the bit the assessor uses to grade the candidate ). Dave F

Posted by Dave F on February 12, 2006, 7:28 pm, in reply to "Re: is it m.o.t testers or vosa it self ??Scarey!" I have asked the question and the answer is to contact your local approved centre for this info as it is for them to disclose. Unfortunately I can't post official material if it isn't already publicly available, sorry. If you have any other questions i will tell you what I know, or if i don't, I can ask for you and post back. Regards Dave F
