Richard, I hear what you're saying.
I'm obviously approaching this argument from my own personal angle.
Right, this is me -
C&G 2240 Electronics Servicing Parts 2 and 3.
11 years' work experience within EBME.
Band 6 technician.
My employer is happy with my work. My quality of work has never been questioned.
Post Registration, not allowing for grandfather rights, I will no longer have the qualifing qualifications for my post! Will I suddenly not be capable of doing my job??
My qualifications and 11 years' experience, does that equal degree level? If it does, then why not have NVQ as the pathway. Is there anything wrong with vocational training?
I can only do my job because of the experiences that I have gained.
Shouldn't Registration be asking for, as an entry point, NVQ level 2/3? Then level 2/3 plus experience for higher bands. This, in my opinion, is not dumbing down our profession.
Cheers
Mark
