Yeah, they brought out those stupid part fitter techs certs, they were like 1/8 of the accreditation of being a proper automotive mechanic. No mechanic wanted to work in those four-wheel drive accessory fitting places for cheap labour wages. They had to accredit people with qualifications because there were some incidents caused by unqualified trade people. The problem with people who had those certs is that they did work beyond their scope that could potentially kill someone.Another issue that came about due to competency standards was the requirement for lots of pizz ant service providers that popped up to provide the accredited competency module training, that also took a lot of work off TAFE and it is was amazing which people started these 'accredited' training companies.
You would be stunned and it wasn't politicians.
But a lot of vested interests, have made a lot of money out of dismantling the apprentice training scheme of old, nothing these days is as it seems, everyone is pulling a scam even those who are supposedly on your side. Lol
