    1. FÁS has introduced a Competency Determination Mechanism (CDM) (this mechanism will provide redundant apprentices with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and knowledge against the occupational standard for the specified trade over a number of days in a FÁS Training Centre) to enable eligible redundant apprentices initially in the trades of Brick & Stonelaying, Carpentry & Joinery, Electrical, Plastering, and Plumbing to progress towards the completion of their apprenticeship.
    Those who successfully pass the Competency Determination Mechanism will be progressed for the award of the FETAC Level 6 Advanced Certificate – Craft.

    Asking the good folk in ...

    Work & Jobs

    or

    Fetac

    would be your best bet.

    Hi there.

    I would also advise that you leave out the text speak when posting in here. It's one of the 3 golden rules. I'm guessing that you didn't read the thread out in the main forum, second from the top, which is entitled:

    ***READ THIS FIRST - Forum Charter (The Rules) - READ THIS FIRST***

    It would be wise to read it now before you post again here or in any other forum.

    Thanks, and welcome to boards.ie!

    Shield.

    Fair play. A lot of new users find it difficult to drop the txtspk habit when they join a forum site!

    It would seem that _AVALANCHE_ has provided you with some useful links which should be helpful to your question, so the only final thing you need to be aware of is that this "Newbies & FAQ" forum is a forum for people to ask questions about the boards.ie site itself.

    Thanks,

    Shield.
