TRA Help
#1

Hi guys, my agent has told me that tra are no longer assessing u.k. plumbers,
i thought that this was infact only unskilled workers ie removal of the assessment pathway D for those who do not have qualifications.
He told me that i will have to be assessed under vittesses which will cost $2060. I am currently taking exams for my NVQ level 3, surely this will then make me qualified.
Can anyone shed some light on this please many thanks Chris.

I have been a plumbing since the age of 16,Passed my city and guilds in 1991 following a 4 year apprenticeship and now 36 and i to have to go down this route so it doesn't matter what qualifications you have which is f_____g stupid. It's going to be like going back to tech again. Total Madness.
