Hi Chewy why are you getting MTCS for your grading assessment when it can be done for free by a previous company that's a IMCA member .
Plus on there web site it clearly states " All Certificates of Competence issued by MTCS have a 3 year validity period, after which they must be renewed in order to ensure personnel are still competent in safety critical, operational and maintenance activities. " Now this is not industry mandatory standard its some thing that is just that is down to MTCS " .
