Meter installer - new to industry

[Mikegasman]

Hi guys,

any meter installers about?

im looking to complete a course to get CCN1 qualified and met1 qualified so I can look at becoming a smart meter installer.

once qualified all employers seem to want 6 -12 months experience as a meter fitter. How do you guys gain the first years experience?

also do you know why employers for dual fuel installers only seem to ask for gas qualifications?

thanks in advance.

mike

1/ You pay for course and they give you accreditation.
2/ Employer only wants people who are competent and don't need onsite training.
( No Offence - employer doesn't want costs to train you )
3/ Probably technical loophole - and ability to leave contactor responsible for any mishaps.
