is this correct?

In France it is the customers responsibility to ensure the tradesman you pay are accredited, failure could result in a hefty fine, maybe not such a bad idea?

Not as daft as they seem then

I can see OFTEC reading this thread and taking notes.


NOT.

OK lets call them in by sending a link, I'm happy to go first just bear in mind one email is about as effective as one snowflake in winter.

Join in and see if we get any response.

its true that OFTEC seems to be all stick and no carrot right now.. its putting your head over the parapet at entirely your own expense.
however, its really the only well known oily organisation so... no choice with public credibility.

I know - great ain't it. I did the course & exams for peace of mind in case I ever had to demonstrate competency - but it's a lot less faff and cost not being forced to register. I'm told that you do need OFTEC registration to sign off work for the council (not that I've ever done it).

Think the free manufacturers training courses require you to be OFTEC to participate although not quite sure
