[vern]

Where you doing yours vern ?

NGST IN Leeds pal, I have known them years, the thing I like is they mark and give all the self employed guys priority for practical assessments, if they are busy which they usually are! BG & E.ON boys etc are made to wait, which suits them lol but not their field managers!

Our time is money or lost work!

 

[chris watkins]

How many of you gas guy's take the training before sitting the ACS ????

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

how many of you gas guy's take the training before sitting the acs ????

[chris watkins]

i normally book one day

Why ? I see it's £90 cost & a loss of a days earnings !!

 

[Barry98]

Gets you back into the mind set of been in the class room and not in the real world

I do, it gives me a chance to brush up on new regs.
Mind you, I did mine last christmas so hopefully I'll have a decent next four years and retire before I do it again

I still don't understand why you need to get back into a "mind set" ? if you know your stuff & keep up to date, surly it doesn't make any difference if you are on site or being assessed? and you would save the £90 + the loss of a day's money.

 

[Barry98]

Well my opinion is , and it might not make sense but like the answer they want in written isn't what you get doing the job out in the big bad world it's almost like a different language .

 

[vern]

Why ? I see it's £90 cost & a loss of a days earnings !!

I don't Chris .....just dive straight in cold lol, but they know my track record and experience, if they see anyone struggle, they recommend they do a bit of training even part way through, I saw this on my LPG last time, there were 6 of us one guy had clearly never touched the stuff, he was blagging it for his ticket, he was referred for training and we all got done for 14.00 job done!

[chris watkins]
