FÁS recently carried out a quality assurance exercise on the training provided to 270 trainees and workers. On completion of this quality assurance exercise, FÁS was not satisfied that all the relevant courses were conducted fully in accordance with the requirements laid down by FÁS. As a result of this, arrangements have now been put in place to retrain or re-assess 239 of these workers.
