Old tester new card. Jun 15, 2017 10:30:31 GMT 1

I work for a well known national company that also retails pushbikes! Recently we had a guy come back to us after around 16 months out of the trade. Good lad and he applied for his new pin card to retake up testing. His card came after about three weeks. Surprise surprise, he is automatically allowed to test! No refresher or demonstration test, more importantly no MOT annual training and assessment

So my question is why has this happened as I feel it makes a mockery to all those that have duly done the training, paid the fees for the assessment. I was told it happened to another guy not so long back before me but this one today proved it to me it happened. Any ideas anyone?

we had one guy had been out for about 3yrs,they came in to sign him off last week.insisted on him completing last years training(that had expired before he was gonna be signed off!)but no requirement for this years syllabus till next march.his page wouldn't let him even order a card prior to this,fortunately we found a spare,thought you could only go straight back in pre 6mnth absence but you might find that given the lack of ves they just said"yeah,crack on"cos our guys took a month to appear.
