    Have to agree, this program is not devised for our Industry.As part of an ongoing DASA evaluation,a number of “service” progams have been looked at, most were rejigged from another trade or service industry. The good ones were so over priced, they would put the overspend on the Scottish parliment to shame. Eurorealm have a decent product, which links in with their stock control program, and a national sales stock program. Excellent for updating prices, at the touch of a button. I have been using it for 7 years, virtually problem free 😯

    Having been involved in trade membership vetting, it is anything but easy. It is as always a good idea, but the reality is, it is time consuming and involves a lot of phoning and letter writing, with very few replys. The responce from the trade regarding nvq’s is very poor. Every trader thinks they have enough experiance, and do not see any need to prove themselves or submit themselves for examination or assessment.
    Look at the outcry from traders who have to have their skills examined, when renewing their gas certificates. this examination is only on the basic skills required, to ensure gas safety, which most of them have been doing for years. For appliances some of us have been trying to encourage various trainers,college’s etc, all have foundered, the industry talks the talk, then silence. 🙄
