We are a friendly lot mate and it makes life so much easier if we are all pulling in the same direction

Just to let you all know the test is now out the way and thankfully got a pass lots of studying and worrying but it's finally behind me, now I've just got to look forward to my visit from gas safe which I have been told will be another lot of questions lol. So the worry is not over but thank you to everyone who showed an interest and wished me luck

Well done, don't worry about the inspection, I haven't had one myself but from what I can gather, it's laid back and unless you fluked your way through your acs, you'll be fine. Don't forget to send your gas safe details to one of the mods to get you in the private gas safe forum.

Thanks for the reply Craig, hopefully I didn't fluke my way through but what's the point in being certified competent if you have to resit more with gas safe. Why don't they oversee the exams themselves, saves time and worry for people

 

[Riley]

The inspection is a more relaxed environment. Over a cuppa. You service an appliance he’ll talk paperwork and notifying, you can ask a couple of questions which they like and they will sometimes check the calibration cert on your FGA

From what I was told at my exam centre, they come and interview you at your house before registration, is this not the case ?
Thanks

 

[Riley]

You’re qualified but on probation. If they come out and find you not working well or need work then they will extend probation. It’s not to catch you out, they are there to help you

 

[brummygas]

Oh that's a relief then, I thought I had a load more tests to do with them before I could start working

 

[Riley]

No you can work from when you receive confirmation from GS of your registration being set up. BUT you are on probation. Concentrate on getting your admin right and filed if you do physical paperwork make sure you have continuity leads, in date FGA, labels, LDF etc

Great stuff thank you Riley and Craig for your input

Hi mate glad you passed, where did you do your test was it at a college or training centre. I’m doing my oil next month and I want to start my gas after the oil, also how long did it take to get your gas? Thanks

At a college acs centre, already had my qualifications and the test took 5 days. Good luck with your exams
