Am I right in thinking there is no foundation degree anymore? As an LET thats kind of a deal breaker for me.
is there any hope of a proper IT/IS branch?
as in, the completely unworkable mixi-blob, comms/IT way of doing it nowHow does I4C sound. As part of streaming the WE branch will take in all CIS completely and have an I4C stream.

no change then. just a different titleEr.......I think the mixiblob. But a very formal official mixiblob run by one department if that's any better.

the issue is (from where I sit) is that getting 1 section to be IT specialists AND provide command with effective comms operators is not working as it is with Dii. not on smaller units anyway. the work load is crazyI must admit that as I'm not CIS or WE I did switch off slightly at that bit but I think the whole comms use and maintenance is coming within the WE branch and becoming a specialisation with IT.

Nope. They are currently designing the new courses which will be delivered from 2015 onwards. Weighted to deliver much more training at LET level with a management top off at POET. Your question was directly asked at my briefing and the answer was once the courses are designed they will see what accreditation they can get them. So it could go or it might not. Of course if you get selected before the new courses come in you'll be alright.

As a long in the tooth back aftie and an Artificer, the roll out of project faraday was in my opinion a long winded statement on how the ET structure has failed and they have rehashed / cobbled the artificers course again. Fast tracked to PO in 5 years depending on academic qualifications? Yep tiff, bringing back PQE? Yes, tiff. Will any of this fix the problem, certainly not today and not for a good few years until the new system comes into effect.
