If a gas engineer doesn't have CKR1 and has never had. How would they get it do you have to build a portfolio/ do a few days at college?
 
I believe you only need a portfolio to get your ACS or what ever the initial qualification is called to be eligible to test for different categories such as CKR1 and the other appliances.

It will depend on your confidence to test for CKR1. I think it has a multiple choice test which you need 80% for followed by a small practical assessment. You could be done in half a day if you don't need any refresher training

If you're already Gas safe I'm almost certain you don't need to touch your portfolio again

I saw on a plumerparts posts comments that the gas engineer always used an inline filter on the gas line to the boiler due to debris. I’ve just had a new boiler fitted, is it a good idea to ask my installer back and pay for a filter to be installed or a waste of money as the gas isn’t that...
