Make your mind up Rob is it Level 3 or level 5 that's the minimum? Let's be honest - any talk that threatens business is bound to smell like bull****, eh?

If we don't compromise then we can establish a setup like the other regulated professions with the facility to train our own people up from scratch or fast-track other experienced and skilled new-entrants to have the qualifications, skills and experience that's acceptable to the HPC.
