British gas induction

[dsmart]

Guys has anyone been on a british gas induction for subcontract service and repair work?

I've already passed the tests etc but don't have a clue what the inductions about.

Will it be H&s and all that caper?

Depends usually laptop training parts ordering issue of phone and if you're in one of their vans a driving test. You'll also be issued with 4 boxes of spares and consumables

by the way what rates ar they paying? per service and breakdown I take it?

I think I've read somewhere £18 a service and £40 a breakdown. Not 100% though.

I got told £18 a service and £37 for a completed breakdown. That was through an agency.

I think if you can sub direct to them then you can get better rates. Or at least you used to be able to.

Hiya, I was just wondering what type of tests you had to do on the practical you did? Were they straightforward?

 

[dsmart]

Yes mate all stuff you will be fine with. Big on electrical isolation

So what sort of thing, testing components or doing flue flow, spillage and fga tests? I'm a bit nervous, I've been waiting for this for 2 years!

 

[gasmanrob]

Flue flow, spillage, action levels, fuse ratings, running a volt pen over the case before touching it and re confirming the volt pen is working by testing it on a known power source after. Clearances etc it's a mini acs with some hse thrown in

 

[arran197]

Eek! I did my acs there just a year ago. Hopefully I'll be ok. What appliances do they use, iirc it was a solo, a floor standing Baxi and a glow worm hxi.
