While the irtec technician licensing scheme might have started as a customer requirement,over the years it has become evermore integrated into workshop staff management structures, at least judging from the testimony of truck rental firm Fraikin, bus operators Arriva and National Express, truck dealers Rygor Group and Scania and training provider GTG.As the UK imposes no legal minimum requirements for heavy vehicle technicians, irtec provides an independent assessment of technician competence at four levels (service and maintenance technician, inspection technician, advanced technician and master technician). Assessment may be either through third-party assessments, or certification of internal assessors. Once achieved, however, irtec licences only last five years. Which is why some of the first adopters of the relaunched irtec scheme have now completed technician reassessments. Others' plans, delayed by COVID, will roll out later this year. |
