I find it funny that according to the IMI my second year apprentice is qualified to join the IMI but myself with 30 yrs experience, multiple accreditation's under my belt, and having worked at vw and ford main dealers, i do not and i need to be accessed at a cost to be offered a chance to join them. Is it worth it i dont know but to keep my accreditation i need to do so many courses and at a cost i feel is wasted, only time will tell i guess
