Definite downward trend
And they keep on comin'!
I wasn't sure the CLG would continue to depress everyone with these updates now that HIPs are mandatory on all homes. But I guess it helps to reinforce the message to potential newcomers that the industry is crowded, if nothing else.
(Actually, there is something else: It also helps reinforce low fees too!)
Numbers of DEAs
| Stage | Number of assessors/candidates |
|---|---|
| Accredited |
6,002 (+208) |
| Qualified |
865 (-42) |
| Passed exams |
3,799 (+60) |
| Total in system who have passed exams or progressed further |
10,666 (+106) |
Accreditation slowdown: Previously, they rose by 304 (down from 340); this time: 208 - So now we can definitely, definitely say there is a downward trend.
It will be interesting to see whether those who have qualified - but not accredited - will rush to do so in the weeks to come now that HIPs are full market.
Total growth slowing: Previously, total numbers in the system rose by 373 (down from 439); so again, another definite downward trend: 106.
