Question Who is waiting for the TRA

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.

Ours is being sent on Friday. Very scary.
We only had about 9 pages so I know what you mean, someone we know had a massive file sent!!
Good Luck!

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.....

Hi Brian

Fingers crossed for all of us, and hope were not waiting months

We are also the same, tra was sent 5/4/05 but our agents haven't told us if we have rcd ack yet!

Do you think I should get on to them or should they let us know when they have received it?

[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.
