Petition Action

Investigate the qualifications offered by Distance Learning Companies

Petition Details

Recently I undertook a distance learning course and believe me it was expensive. Anyway after flying through the course but being held up by this company I found out that the qualification wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

So I want the Government to investigate the qualifications offered

Additional Information

This relates to companies offering "Fast Track" Plumbing Courses also Electrical and many others, it is slightly worrying when a plumber can work on your gas supply with a few short weeks training and modern colleges spend years training someone.

I want the government to investigate the companies that offer qualifications that fall way below many employers desires.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to set mandatory standards for these kinds of courses, if that's what you would like to happen.
