Training Courses

[chris watkins]

I am confused.....

Where in my OP did i ask for the steps to becoming a gas engineers?

I am asking all those thousands of people who come on here and say they have trained through a training centre or are thinking of training through a trainng centre, if anybody can reccomend a good training centres

Now Either there is absolutely no good ones out there or the training centre members haven't read my posts.

Why is it that Nobody can mention training centres on here without getting mixed stories of the routes you have to do and loads of abuse.

And FYI CW, I have been doing plumbing for 4 years now and have my NVQ 2.

"There is no other way around this it will be the same at any college or centre the only thing that changes is the way that you attend"

THIS IS WRONG, I HAVE HEARD THIS ABOUT 10 TIMES, THERE IS A WAY AROUND IT, SOME TRAINING CENTRES HAVE LOCAL GAS ENGINEERS WHO THEY PAY TO TAKE YOU OUT WITH THEM AND SIGN YOUR PORTFOLIO.

The one that I spoke to years ago charged £1,000 for a signed portfolio. People on here need to start researching these training centres and I am sure you will be suprised on exactly what they do.

The only problem is that half the centres say they can get you the experience and then they don't.

Times are changing and people need to accept it. There has been people on here who are talking about "becoming a plumber", Everyone says "don't do it" yet they still do it.

There is nothing you can do to stop these people training, get over it and move on.

You are spot on there my old fruit, you are most confused !!
First, in your OP you made no mention of where you are based so very difficult for any of us to recommend a good training center to you, don't you think !!!
Secondly do you know that plumbing is a service based industry?? if you talk / treat any customers the way you have been on here you will not have any long term ones, we do not expect thanks for the free help & advice given here but I think we can demand a civil tone. Thirdly you are right what do I know about gas ACS training centers, I only work in one !!! So I think I speak for most people on this thread when I say go away & find your own training center that suits you & your pocket, just remember this, even if you manage to get passed the ACS, Gas Safe will come out to see you working on a number of jobs on your own & if you do not cut the mustard you will not be allowed on the GSR.

firstly no,

There could be any all over the country, including OLCI or BTSC which have several all around the country. So no not that hard really, simple really, just tell me which one you have used and if it was any good. not hard is it?


Today I walked up to the customers house to tell them I will fix what i want to fix, aint gonna solve their actual problem, charge them £400 for half hours work, make sure I get paid before I leave or i break there legs and then leave, wheel spinning all over there flower bed.

Get a life and stop being a total arze
