Hi Phil sorry to tag along mate but I'm very interested in this as well as I have calls going up and up asking about heating alternatives

I looked at this ages ago pal, usual training and assessment, but at the time I enquired it was the site evidence that became the hard one. Unless you know a hetas guy , but if he is local to you , he aint going to want another guy on his patch .

I will read the replys with interest

Yeh i seen that bit aswell regarding the on site experience.
Anyone know how many jobs you have to do.

I think that bit is perhaps a bit daft if you already have gas safe/fires ticket...

 

[SimonG]

That bit must be new. I didnt think there was any 'on site' stuff.

Im sure some of the lads who donthis later will be along to shed some light hopefully

I do a few dual fuel systems of variety of configurations but always use one of two guy I know to do the hetas part of the job as for me personally with all the other registrations that have to be maintained I think its best to spread the work to make life easier

I had a very brief look around the middle of last year. I saw a hetas advert in the gas engineer.

There's a special course designed for gsr people. I can't remember the code off the top of my head but I seem to remember it was a couple of grand for the course which put me straight off. At least for a couple of years, I don't need my ACS, G3 and hetas renewals in the same year!

I'll see if I can find out the course details when I have a bit more time. I don't remember anything about a portfolio though.

I've got a hetas chap I forward my enquiries on to and I get his gas fire decommissions in return. I'm in no rush to take on another strand.

005DE is the direct entry biomass course which, rightly or wrongly, allows you to register for dry (003 l) and wet (004) installations without further training as long as they can check one installation that you've done.

To get on 005DE the requirements etc are here
