According to Corgi Fenestration, many original MTC cards are expiring this autumn and through 2018 and need to be renewed.
Corgi adds that installers and surveyors should be wary over which card they use as some have switched from being personal cards to company cards, that need replacing each time you change job. Those working on a sub-contracting basis may need more than one company card.
In order to upgrade, if your existing MTC card was issued via a GQA accredited NVQ, then you automatically meet Corgi Fenestration requirements and can get a card straight away. If your NVQ is about to expire, it is possible to complete a competency upgrade in order to upgrade a card.
“A Corgi Fenestration branded skills card means you hold the best qualifications in the business,” commented Mick Clayton, GQA CEO. “They are based on National Occupational Standards regulated by Ofqual and delivered by GQA licenced assessors – the most experienced assessors in the industry.”
Corgi Fenestration says that its skills card has a host of other added features. It acts as an identity card; it can be scanned to reveal qualifications and any GQA accredited training held centrally on the Corgi Fenestration skills register and it can also be a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card, where appropriate.
