They seem to be a necessity these days.
However, when common sense and savvy was part of normal lifes’ training they were not a requirement. People efforts were appraised on simple attributes; knowlwdge, ability to undertake the job and teamwork.
When the industry gets busy, numpties seem to get past orifice wallers and find themselves offshore – no savvy, no common sense, an accident waiting to happen 👿 … in steps an oraganisation that can level the playing field and make it all luvvy duvvy and easy step by step ‘turn yourself into an offshore worker’ scheme 😯
I’m not against the establishment, I did until recently teach some of the latest curriculum in Electronicis at a local poly, it’s the application.
Since it’s introduction I have noticed no improvement in quality offshore…if anything people seem to be more complacent, because they have signatures saying that they have completed a task competetlenty, but can’t actually do it.
Still, keeps the orofice happy having lots of employees that are towing the IMCA line, and it keeps IMCA in business…and me because I stay in business helping these dudes/dudesses and picking up the pieces 🙄
And now for a cuppa…
