The validity period of Initial Basic Training Certificates is set out in legislation. Making a change to the validity of an existing certificate requires a change in law. The recent extensions were made depending on when an IBT cert was issued, for certs issued between the 01 March 2018 - 30 June 2019. No further extensions are being considered at this time.

I appreciate the cut-off point for the extensions mean that some people will miss out on them by a relatively small amount, but this would always be the case, whatever date was set.
