Hi. just had my probationary inspection.
Most of the inspection went ok, apart from when the inspector asked me questions about gas fires and gas cookers. I have my ticket for boilers and the inspection for all that side went fine. The last time I did anything about fires and cookers was 5 years ago at collage and neither was part of my exams back then. On the GSR site it says ; 'The inspector will assess your technical knowledge through a question-based assessment. This is to gain an understanding of your underpinning knowledge of the competencies that you hold'. When I told him I didn't have a ticket for them he said you should know anyway. I have talked to 4 other engineers and none of them were asked about fires and cookers, only boilers. Should I have been quized on something I don't have a ticket for? All the boilers I've so far fitted for Boxt, Heatable and my own have all been fitted and running no problems. Anyway, another inspection is to be scheduled so I'm swotting up on what he wants but it just seemed a bit odd. Just wanted to know others thoughts.
 
A lot of Cadent/esp engineers don’t have their tickets, but as for knowing, imo, you’d need to know basic stuff so you can report issues, eg, flame picture on a purge and relight.
