Hi All
Our sister company Certifi Training has now received accreditation to offer GDA and DEA courses.
This combined GDA/DEA course is aimed at existing heating engineers - it is not suitable for unqualified entrants.
I don't want to oversell this course - to be honest, we are not sure whether the green deal will the best thing since sliced bread, or a damp squib. My gut feeling is that it will suit some firms more than others. Companies that do lots of installs and/or renewables are likely to benefit more than those that do mostly maintenance, with the odd boiler change. I recommend that you do thorough research, and then decide whether this is for you.
As an experiment, we are planning to run the first course in Portsmouth as 5 evenings, partly to see if evening courses work, and partly because there wasn't a daytime slot available.
I understand that the course content has no fixed practical element, so we don't need to run it in our training facility - we could run it in a small hotel function room. If there is demand for the course elsewhere in the country, we will look at doing this.
Forum members - if you decide to book, don't do it online, otherwise you will pay £995 plus VAT. If you call 0800 088 7445, you will get the call handling service. When a human calls you back, tell them that you saw this post on the UK Plumbers Forum, and you can get it for £795 plus VAT.
Cheers
Ray
PS - please don't ask me loads of technical questions about how the Green Deal works! If you do need help, I will try to get someone more expert than I am to come on the forum and answer. The problem is that everyone who understands it seems to have an axe to grind - that includes me now...
