Oldgirl, I agree that one of the benefits of having IFA members doing a job is that they are bound by a set of rules and if they are breaking the rules, they should get taken up on that. I certainly would find it rather embarrassing and career affecting to be slung out of the IFA.
Re-validation or some kind of ongoing assessment is surely essential? and would come under CPD? I agree there are issues with people moving sideways or out of pure heritage jobs, but that could be addressed somehow? I'm sure you could work out a wording...
I never realised people used to be able to self-validate!!!!
Tying in to the NVQ is a good idea as it presumably makes things more measurable.
