Rejected petition Investigate the qualifications offered by Distance Learning Companies
Recently I undertook a distance learning course and believe me it was expensive. Anyway after flying through the course but being held up by this company I found out that the qualification wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
So I want the Government to investigate the qualifications offered
More details
This relates to companies offering "Fast Track" Plumbing Courses also Electrical and many others, it is slightly worrying when a plumber can work on your gas supply with a few short weeks training and modern colleges spend years training someone.
I want the government to investigate the companies that offer qualifications that fall way below many employers desires.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to set mandatory standards for these kinds of courses, if that's what you would like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
