A proposed organisation to which all accredited Technicians would be a member. Such Technicians would have verifiable technical experience and proven technical background. Guild to set out minimum standards for it’s membership. Members of Guild would expect Industry accreditation, standard minimum rate for the job and minimum standard benefits,
Benefits to Technicians:
* A formal qualification that is Industry transferable.
* An organisation seeking consistent minimum standards of terms and conditions.
* A cohesive organisation dedicated to technicians.
* Not a formal union or negotiating body.
Membership of a recognised Industry Standard Organisation. This is just an idea,that may have potential for us all, in creating for the first time an accredited standard for Dispense Engineers of all types, that is an Industry Standard. It may help guarantee better rates of pay and terms and conditions and put us all on some sort of common ground. Thoughts please… Please no funnies,this is serious stuff.

Doesn’t the current NVQ level III already cover the points you raise?
January 26, 2010, 11:56 pmAll of T&J installations Birmingham & South wales, as well as a number of main brewers cellar techs have gained these qualifications through among others, companies like charnwood training(an independent group).
Unfortunately without sounding like a snob…..there are a lot of knuckle draggers out there that find spelling their name correctly a challenge, let alone passing an exam.
