Rich H · **Sia bureacratic incompetance**

Dear All,

I am in the process of renewing my sia CP license. Yes, hasn't 3 years flown by.

Bearing in mind only 3 years ago, the SIA had received my documents such as:

2 residence utility bills
passport
signed passport sized photograph

I have to again forward the same. I explained that my face has not changed other than extra grey hairs from dealing with the SIA and that I am still living in the same address.

Oh no, they still want address history for the past 5 years. They still want my photo and they still want my passport.

This is a government organisation. Is it just me or is the SIA truly a bunch of F@~*ing assholes.

Rich,
If you dont't mind me asking how much is the renewal going to cost.
First Aid at work + Cost of Exam+ Application for licence.
I'm I right in thinking it could amount to over £600

According to the sia web site there is no requirement to do a refresher course on this cycle of renewals.

I would suggest you follow your normal training requirements (renewal of FAAW) and apply as necessary.

James is correct.

There is no requirement this time around to do any refreshing for the purposes of the license. It remains £245 for all licenses.

They changed the goal posts on that one.......you used to get a 50% discount on renewals...........hay ho, the sia & Govt has got to get the money for all their visits to different parts of the world from somewhere.

No mate, it was always that. The 50% reduction is for a second license such as CVIT if you also require a CP one, but yes, still a rip off. Mind you, they have to pay for their new digs, very plush.
