I had been an accredited instructor for the past 10 years with ITSSAR and my re-reg was due at the end of May 2019. I decided not to go for it as I feel that I don't actually get any support from them unless it involved me giving them money. Even if I decided to go and do the ITSSAR re-reg now, they have advised me that I would need to go on another full 10 day instructor course even though I've been in constant work as an instructor for the past 10 yrs. It makes no sense...

I have since joined a newly formed accredidting body called "NAMBEX" (National Accredited Members Body of Examiners).

They have supported me more in the past 6 months than ITSSAR have ever done in the past 10 years. I pay a yearly registration fee, but for that, they do everything, all I have to do is go and do the job, send them the completed paperwork and they do the rest. All operator ID cards and certification is completed by them and sent back to me within 5 days.

ID cards are an optional thing, not every company that I do training for wants them and I've never seen a certificate that looks so professional before. The operators that get issued them have said they get a real sense of pride and acheivment when they recieve them.

All course paperwork is provided to me (3 pages of it) included within their study book which means I dont have to keep printing it off every week. Powerpoint Presentations, course syllabus, training videos are free to download.

I have booked a course with them to gain my lorry mounted FLT (moffett) and as im already a registered member with them, I've recieved an 80% discount on the course. Effectively im paying £76 in total, its great...

The course content is more relevant to this century..

They encourage me to train each trainee operator to their own personal strengths. I've never come across that before, certainly not with ITSSAR.

They are constantly updating their members page on their website with relevant information, keeping me up to date with all of the latest regs and even if I have questions after office hours, they encourage all of their members to contact the directors directly.
