Hi,
Just looking to get an idea of how many of us are waiting on the TRA (or other assessment body).
My TRA application is 3 weeks and counting. and I am getting a little worried that I may not have written enough for my Job description. (Electronic Equipment Tradesperson)
I read yesterday that somebody wrote 15 pages!. Mine is more like 2, though I did put in some City and Guilds certs.
Anybody else on the TRA bit?
Brian.

Don't worry about how much you wrote, it's the content that counts. I only filled the box that is on the application form ( and I struggled to fill that ). I got mine passed one month after the payment was confirmed.
Good luck and try not to fret.....

we must be about the same as you, tra sent 4/4/05, agt rcd ack from tra 13/4/05. we too are playing the waiting game, wondering if we have done enough?!! :scared:
but if they come back as say that we haven't, there is not any more to give, info wise, so this application is to be our only one, i would have thought

Hi Brian
Read our timeline, scary now waiting even for the acknowledgement as first application went missing.
Sent loads off as hubby is self employed
Fingers crossed for all of us, and hope were not waiting months

[QUOTE=bjbrian]Hi,
Just looking to get an idea of how many of us are waiting on the TRA (or other assessment body).
We are 2 weeks in and counting, getting nervous now, have been told 8-10 weeks so just keeping the old fingers crossed. I have also heard that electricians are to be put on the MODL, for any sparkies out there waiting.
Best of luck to you all.
Simon
