what course

[CXR100]

im currently working for a local H.A as some of you may know, my main line of work is fitting bathrooms in void properties at the moment, its so boring its unreal , my highlight of the year was probably last week was when I got to fit a disabled bathroom with a level access tray and a whale pump...... !! I am gas safe registered and have just completed my oftec exams, I work a lot in my own time and have my own clients etc. the only heating & breakdowns I do is for my own customers. and I feel like im getting a bit rusty on all of it as im stuck doing bathrooms every single day! (if I was self employed I would never do one agin!!!) I am going to book my self on some courses in the near future, investing the money I do in my own time into training and courses so I have them if I am ever looking for a new job. there is a Honeywell one coming up near me in may , only 45 quid so I will go on that one, any others you can recommend? I have done the Worcester one at it was more of a sales pitch than a traing course, I want to learn fault finding etc, and maby do a solar panel course as I have no idea on this subjest, what about the mr combi course? any info would be great. thanks

Without 2 a levels most will struggle to get on the course. I'm trying to get on one with no gcse and no a levels on a point scoring system it ain't easy to find a college willing to do it

I did a 2 day breakdown course at a company in Bristol which was very good. I'm sure other training centers do the same all over the country so have a word with them.

If your going oftec speak to grant I did a 2 day free course with them which was good and I missed out on a day course on burners which you had to pay for it but I would of been willing to pay had they of told me about it. Only down side is it's in devizes but there is a travelodge just round the corner which is cheap enough.

Could you not speak to your bosses about doing more varied work? Surely if your gas safe they would want to use that? Because the best training is to do things day in day out.

I have level 3 that I did in collage and have good gcse results , the grant course sounds interesting, anyone done the baxi one? or done the mr combi one or Honeywell one?

Baxi three day ️course is good. Youll know some of it already but they teach some excellent fault finding skills

plus one for the baxi course obviuously done on their boilers but it is an across the board course and will set you up with good basic skills for any boiler after that will depend on which boilers you see most of
