Thanks, Laura<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The link also says that only qualified Technology teachers can undertake the course which from my experience is a test to prove to the department that you can use the machines safely.</div><div>Schools are sending unqualified teachers to the course and seem to be allowed to? I had to give them a copy of my qualifications before I undertook the course. The department does not seem to be policing this at the moment, or the providers dont seem to be policing it. I am worried for those who are unqualified and who are in the unfortunate situation of a student having an accident.</div><div>Has DATTA approached the department about this?</div><div><br></div><div>Regards Maryann Augustinus UHS</div></div></div>
