So what do you think...?

Yawn!!!! Our jobs are becoming over regulated which is stifling creativity. It's becoming increasingly boring!! I think I will stack shelves in Tesco's.

Usual waffle.

On another happy note, what is their training like?

They only want your money!!!! you will get a free presentation on all the wonderful courses they do, the BER course being a perfect example. Trainers such as the above mentioned have trained far too many BER assessors so now most of them cannot make any money and the price for doing the work is collapsing all the time they trained people they shouldn't have, no level 6 qualifications. They want you to go and sign up for a few of their courses spend a few grand (that you dont have) and keep them earning a nice profit. Some of the other registered assessors who post here will back me up on this. Avoid like the Plague is my advice!!

The biggest opertunity in the green sector is in training!!!!

Poor Uncle Tom

Yup yup yup..!

No6, parka & pseudo-tech all echo my views,

You have no idea how many of these emails I have deleated in the past 12 months.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I think I will start a training course in how to avoid training courses. It's a dead winner!! Too much jumping on the band wagon!

New Courses:

How to receive recognition as an Architectural Technician
How to get a job when there are none
How to get money out of people who don't have any (Technicians)
How to live on €5.00 a week

Poor Uncle Tom

:D:D
The last course is the most relevant at the moment.

I'm interested in the third one. Once I've passed it, I'll continue with the fourth one.
