Satisfy Government Requirements – For Just £1.15* Per Week
For those installers,
surveyors and installers/surveyors taking
the industry experience
route with the FENSA
MTC Card, the cost for
completing the online
Knowledge Test and the
Onsite Assessment is
£299 (ex VAT), or just
£1.15 per week*.
This includes the cost of
the card, which is £30 (ex
VAT). For those complying
by taking or holding relevant existing qualifications
the card is an additional
cost.
This currently represents
the most cost-effective route
for satisfying the new glazing sector Minimum Technical Competencies (MTCs)
that have been introduced
by government, and are
effective from June 2014.
Alternatively, for those
operatives that want to
go down the qualifications route costs will vary
depending on the qualification taken and whether
government part-funding is
available. The GQA Centre
to which each applicant will
be allocated on joining the
FENSA MTC Card scheme
will be able to advise on
this.
The FENSA MTC Card is
operated by GGF Training
Ltd.
“This may look like a lot
of money, especially to
glazing installers and surveyors who have previously
TURN TO PAGE 2 TO READ MORE
not had to have any stated
experience or qualifications,” comments FENSA
Managing Director Chris
Mayne. “But this equates to
just £1.15 per week over
the five year validity of
the FENSA MTC Card, less
than the cost of half a pint
of beer. It is also far lower
than the costs of satisfying
MTC requirements in other
construction sector professions such as electricians
and gas technicians.”
There are now just eight
months to go before all operatives have to satisfy the
new government MTCs for
the glazing sector. Start the

If you’re not compliant with MTC* by June 2014 that’s
what you will have to do. But not if you have the FENSA
MTC Card – which is open to everyone in the industry.
This is the easy way to satisfy MTC either through relevant
industry experience or qualifications.
Don’t just say you can do it –
prove you can with the FENSA MTC Card
The FENSA MTC Card Scheme is managed and administered
by GGF Training Ltd, a sister company to FENSA.
