hi guys, extremely well put together F.P. today. yes is the industry setup to do away with qualifications altogether and just add to the 2500 laborers who are now doing qualified guys work under the supervision of a few certifiers who work for business owners?
Add to that certifyers being responsible for all work and you have the perfect setup all engineered by the Master Plumbers association of course as they have made up the bulk of the P.G.D.board for many years.
  The government have made a bad assumption in recognizing the M.Plumbers as an industry standard when it is only an association of plumbing companies that want to belong to it for advantageous reasons. As the saying goes `assume` will make an `Ass` out of you and me and it really has done, cheers
