your training provider will tell you what you need specifically in your portfolio I have more or less just finished mine Luckily its meant to b changing to a minimum of 800 hours on site soon witch I welcome I actually sat a full apprenticeship like most other plumbers I wouldn't be shouting the odds saying plumbing is too easy that just says to me your completing basic works I would recommend you gain vast experience in all types of plumbing and master that befor attempting to learn gas I have had to work along side some right numptys during my portfolio who know everything on paper but haven't a clue my advice once qualified properly as a plumber give it 5years or so years then sit the gas!

correct site work is easy - wait till you get in an occupied house

By site work I think they just mean "on site" whether that's actually a building site or a customers house it doesn't matter

cheers alex that's exactly what I mean onsite as in on the job day in day out I understand what you say in that you find the theory easy but have you practiced It in reality on actual paying work you could come well unstuck
