Putting the record straight..
Discussion
In response to the following from t_c :
" The IAM pass is the equal of a RoSPA bronze, and this was agreed between RoSPA and the Institute about 4 years ago when the DSA started monitoring all advanced tests. That is not to say that IAM drivers are incapable of attaining gold, but simply because of their pass/fail marking system, there is no way of differentiating between the standards, in any case by the Institutes own admittance, the IAM are quantity whilst RoSPA are quality. "
I felt this matter worthy of a seperate thread to set the record straight.
So HERE is the truth :
Rospa gold = A very good IAM pass
Rospa Silver = IAM pass
Rospa Bronze = an IAM FAIL
This I confirmed TODAY with the IAM's Chief Examiner (Bryan Lunn) and he gave his consent for me to quote him on this.
