“We strongly believe that the
FENSA MTC Card represents
exceptional value for money – and
that the launch by the government
of MTCs for the replacement
glazing sector will further drive
up quality and professionalism
in our industry,” adds Mayne.
*The FENSA MTC Card that
is issued for those operatives taking the industry experience route and
successfully completing the
Knowledge Test and Onsite
Assessment is valid for five
years. Dividing the £299
cost over five years/260
weeks gives a weekly cost
of £1.15.
About the
FENSA MTC Card
Carded
Experience
The FENSA MTC Card
recognises levels of competence achieved through
the installers’ or surveyors’
relevant industry experience – and a minimum of
two years is required.
Installers and surveyors
will be able to obtain a
provisional card immediately upon registration
but they will also be
required to undertake an
online Knowledge Test
and Onsite Assessment
that will allow a full card
to be issued. These tests
and assessments will need
to be completed by June
2014.
Carded
Qualifications
The FENSA MTC Card
can also recognise that
the installer or surveyor
holds relevant glazing
sector qualifications – a
minimum of NVQ Level
2 (installers) or Level
3 (surveyors). Holders
will have to demonstrate competence with
the latest measures by
being reassessed.
The FENSA MTC Card
is a simple, easy and
cost-effective way of
recognising Minimum
Technical Competence.
The holder can clearly
prove that they have
the experience, skills and
competences to carry
out the contracted job t
