You may recall that back in December 2019 I wrote to encourage you to respond to a questionnaire about apprentices, as the government was keen to obtain feedback on our three apprenticeship schemes. The results are now in and they are favourable. Participants liked the standards and there were no fundamental changes identified. We now have support from the government to merge condition monitoring into the standards. The most contentious issue will be over the proposed name changes as participants thought that 'Operator' is too vague a job title. A positive outcome is that when we rewrite the NDT Technician scheme we can align it to NVQ Level 4,which presumably means the employer will obtain more funding!
