Nothing that anyone here can do, but I need to let off steam...
PMETB are an incompetetent, theiving, irresponsible bunch of....****s
Approximately 3 months ago I sent my CCT application in. With my CV. And a photo. And a huge effing great cheque for £750 (for something that was free, 2-3 years ago, and having already paid the buggers £350 just to have my name put on file).
22nd November, card comes from the RCGP to say they've sent the recommendation for a CCT to PMETB.
TODAY, just FOUR EFFING DAYS BEFORE I finish my training and am supposed to be starting work (which I cannot legally do without a CCT), they phone me to tell me that the photo I sent to them MONTHS ago "isn't up to standard".
If I get another photo in the post to them tomorrow, then I "might" have my certificate by Wednesday.
Why hadn't they phoned me before? "Yeah, someone should have phoned you, sorry, it's the first time it's come to me."
It's like dealing with a bunch of bloody amateurs instead of a professional awards body. Typical attitude of "It's not my fault, it's someone else's responsibility".
Livid. Absolutely livid.
