Wanted gas training course

[markd]

Hi
Is anybody selling a gas training course ? ( I have been told Brookhouse is a good one ?
As I have had zero luck in gaining full or part time work in Herefordshire I have even offered
to work for free ( So I am now looking at these training centers if anybody can offer any advice
please none of the sarky comments I do understand these fast track may not be the best way
to gain qualifications but I intend to take the gas training as I am sure I would stand more chance
in getting a full time job ( working for a gas engineer ?

i know from many the only way you will get a job after completing these courses is by going self employed. unfortunately for you and to be fair quite rightly so an employer will not take anybody who doesn't have the relevant experience to go with the qualifications. i would look at something else to train as if i were you unless the idea of being self employed appeals to you and even you will struggle without experience.

Mark, I assume we are talking Brookhouse in cleckheaton west yorkshire, unless its a massive coincidence we have another Brookhouse in Herefordshire.
Assuming it is, I do my ACS at Brookhouse and think the whole set up is excellent and I know they do take people on from all over the country. The problem I think you will have is they place candidates with local firms which if you live 'darn sarth' could be a problem.
I total agree with JV above, you would probably end up going straight into being self employed.

I did it going straight into self employed, but it was very very tough. It can be done but think very carefully about whether you want to do this course and start your business straight off the back of it.

It's a much easier decision if you already run an established plumbing business and are looking to add gas to that.

I am currently at night school doing a gas course. Be warned. You need a gas portfolio of in my case 25/30 jobs in it signed off by a hrs engineer which I am really struggling to get as most engineers just say no. Spare a thought and make sure you can get this portfolio complete. Some colleges include a placement but sadly mine doesn't
