At work we have been very busy. We have a turnover of at least Five mod 1 tests and five mod 2 tests a week plus loads of CBT training and other stuff.
We usually book five module 1 tests TEN weeks in advance and usually fill them for tests at Kirkham test centre near Blackpool on a Monday (The only day they will do bike Mod 1 tests at that location).
That means that we train during the week to get people ready for test on a Monday, then they can book mod 2 for the following Wednesday.. It works.
We have JUST had a call from chief DSA man saying all tests for Monday are cancelled "as too many examiners are off on holiday" :bang:
That is on top of Two weeks ago when the 'excuse' was.. "The examiner has not got the correct paperwork".
The week before that it was " Yesterday a lorry spilled brake fluid on the swerve area so it will be unsafe on Monday". ( Even though they KNOW that the Fire service will spray it off for free as part of a training program, they have done it before).
It may sound petty to moan, but ANY other big Company would have a leave roster or agreement for cover.
They have had TEN fookin weeks to arrange cover.
This means that the people who have booked time off work to do tests now have to re arrange at short notice, and have lost a day next Monday.
We are losing out as we are now in effect using bikes for tests that we would be using for other training. We have people wanting to do tests that we are 'stacking' awaiting new dates as the old tests are repeated. and we are all just pissed off with them anyway! :wank:
