Ah Karl my fellow functional, an excellent conception, May I ask what grade you intend to start these delightful neophyte's. It takes 4 years to acquire a HNC from GCSE, 2 years from ONC. 3 A-Levels are equivalent to an ONC but a guy with A-levels straight out of school is of no immediate use, I suppose we would have to look at the IEE's system of training and grading an EngTech/T.Eng etc. whilst maintaining a minimum duration of training.

Regards

Louis
