Firestarter I passed group bourdon test standard and glop test standard the other trp 1 and 2 failed that's all opc said to me but they sent all my information to WMT saying failed on all

From memory glop is TRP part 1, I'm sure if i'm wrong someone can correct me. So regardless of passing it, not passing part two would count it as a over all fail so next time you would have to do both parts again regardless, again someone else can correct me on it

I think the confusion is that he has failed as far as WMT are concerned, as they use the enhanced standard. I agree it’s misleading though, and should have maybe a couple of columns which differentiate?

Personally, I think Tezza32 should call the OPC to get clarity. There is nothing worse than going forward being unsure of if you have passed or not. Reading posts from others, people are almost always confident which pass they have. People have either: failed, passed to standard or passed to enhanced. I would agree that this should be highlighted directly to the applicant.

It isn't pleasant being told you have failed and it may blind you to the specifics. I think the TOCs also need to be clearer about the specifics too. I think they are too quick to say you have failed or not met their standard.

I've put a call in they said it will be 4 weeks before any feed back is given if I'm honest I'm not bothering to persue it anymore if this is how they work after 7 months of waiting etc and then to just be told fail then it's not worth all the hassle
