I suppose the *up side* of trade body involvement is the CPD (continuing
professional development) that this government has been pushing for the
last ten years.

Maybe the certificate should be restricted to *own home* and for the
life of whatever IEE regulations are current at the time of the test?

Regulation of competence *should* be a matter for the IEE. However all
the IEE manage to do for the exorbitant membership fees they charge me
is maintain a marble museum on the Strand - they do nothing of real
benefit to members.

They used to do *training* at the marble museum whenever a new set of
regs. were introduced. You need to park at the Savoy though:-)
