Pretty sure you will have to do ACS but can go as Cat 1 which makes life easier. Contact E&U Skills at euskills. co. uk and see what they say.

Far as I know there is a reciprocal arrangement between Gas Safe and RGII

It may involve an interview / meeting to confirm competence and to ensure you are aware of the minor differences in work practices.

I know a Gent came to Ireland from the UK and had no problem being accepted by RGII, same applies both ways I hope as I have some
business in Belfast later this year.

Hi, I was in the same situation as you last year, I had to do a changeover course which I did in Belfast for a week.

It's called Mutual Recognition. I did mine last year at CCTS.

Welcome to the forum Den85

I think with RGII it's no more than half a day, did Gas Safe make you do a course that lasted a week?

I just want to fit one boiler and pressurised cylinder changing from a combi boiler.

Croppie, you are officially on stand by

Hi Peteheat, think it was four days iirc, on the fifth day I did the unvented course. SGAS in Belfast was where I did it, but I have fires, cookers boilers and water heaters on my ticket. I am thinking about doing commercial soon as that's where I'd love to be working but I've no experience.

Bob Darlow still at sgas? Strange man that one..........

 

[Den85]

Ya still there, I hadn't much dealings with him besides booking the course initially They're facility is quite good and compared to when I did my GID in Ireland a few years back, the ACS course is miles better.

 

[Dotty]

I've trained with both sgas and ccts. ccts are much better imho.

 

[peteheat]

ccts are only a few minutes away from the job.

Hmmm maybe I could offer them the facility for "practical training" ?
