Thanks kirk I see what you're saying. Tbh i don't want it to get ahead and look smart, if anything I just don't want to get left behind. I'm sure I won't as I feel I am intelligent enough and committed enough to get through the course properly but as it's a big expense and a potentially dangerous line of work to be in I don't want ti take any chances anywhere

ive highlighted where i see you might have a problem, if you are intelligent you will be the exception if you join gas

Yes, read right through the whole 5 pages of this thread.
If you don't get the info you require,at least it will be very good practise for finding info in the British Standards !!!!!

Its about time they done real world scenarios on these courses for when you end up doing the inevitable tennant llsc's
When you go into the test bays it should be like bay 1, no access / bay 2 has old lady with six cats , cat food on floor and cooker and cat asleep on top of boiler , bay 3 has two large agressive dogs but according to tennat in bay they are harmless along with boiler/cooker and fire covered in thick layer of ten years of grease n slime, final bay has been turned into a cannibis growing operation so unable to see or test appliances .
pass this and you will be o.k for future gas works

How about InTAPlumb LLP at Dartford just around M25 ?

 

[Sudburys]

Am waiting for intaplumb to get back to me with some info...have decided to look again at ATL in the meantime. i know its blended learning but its also 7 weeks practical which is as much as most of the other courses ive seen. they also want 140 days of portfolio building, on the job work so i figured il learn a lot that way too.

1 question, does anyone know if you can do a conversion course once qualified to enable you to work on oil heating? It's a possibility I may move to jersey in a few years and that is all that's used over there.

Thanks
