111: Consequences of failure to comply with order to pass examination, complete competence programme, or attend course of instruction

You could also call this:

"What happens if you don't follow the Board's order to pass a test, complete a programme, or attend a course?"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

If the Board tells you to pass an examination, complete a competence programme, or attend a course of instruction and you do not do it, the Board can make an order. The Board can order that your registration or licence has conditions or is suspended. You can find more information about this in section 106(1)(e). The Board must tell you why they might suspend your registration or licence and give you a chance to respond. They must also give you a reasonable opportunity to make written submissions and be heard. The Board will inform you of their decision. The Registrar will give you a copy of the order made by the Board. The order will take effect from the day you receive it or from a date specified in the order. The order will stay in effect until you comply with the original order, which can be found in section 106(1)(e). The Board can extend the time you have to comply with the order.
