Hi guys,

We had a new tech start at our VTS, who we are trying to get trained as an N.T.

We sent off an application to DVSA training services including copies of all qualifications, Training Services have eventually come back saying that the City and Guild Qualifications he hold are not sufficient to be accepted.

What routes / steps do we need to take in order to get him through?

Many thanks

Kev

So long as he has the relevant experience he can go down the aTa route through the IMI, it's competency based assessments a few reports and a couple of on line examinations at the end, Oh sorry I nearly forgot, there is some maths, formula and equations (rofl)

I am sure somebody on here thinks I somebody similar DOH!

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

That's probably the quickest way to do it. It's got a high fail rate however.

I do think you need a bit of luck on your side. Get two questions wrong in the same section and you will need to wait 2 months to sit it again.

They probably just gave you the certificate because nobody knows or understands anything about leather straps for crank bearings on those Model T's LOL

Once he passes the ntta test he then goes on 3 day's training. He then has to pass the test on the training. He must get 80% on the 3 days training exam. I was told it was easy and you couldn't fail. ..wrong advice. I passed with 85% but 3 fellas out of 12 failed. After that it's just a trade test on a mock mot at work.

Do they still do the 3 day training course?

Or at least it was just prior to the main comp 2 roll out

They told me (DVSA) last February 2015 in my last training course that training had now stopped due to MOT Modernisation? I have been advised that training is being re-introduced next year via MOT Modernisation. I am sure there will NOT be any travelling to DVSA sites any more as it appears to me that it's all being carried out via the Computer?

I know it's basically the same course but the new guys still have to learn the ropes somehow.

There's rumours that changes may be happening soon where the course will cost £500 a day.
