The people 'kirkgas' turns out are wholely unskilled & a danger to the themselves & the public.
Is he or any mickey mouse course provider going to face the Judge on a Manslaughter Charge when some useless ex-milkman takes the side of a house out & kills someone?? No f.cking chance, they'll still be stuck in their Classroom counting their money & wating for the next load of braindead morons to come through the door.
The only advert for 'Gas Fitters' in our local Scottish dailly rag is Kirk's cowboy course, there's no other work for people with ACS! So if you think you can retrain & be a career change chancer, think again son.........THERE'S NO WORK FOR GAS FITTERS!!!
your opinion and you are welcome to it, but i will take you to task on saying everyone i put through gas is dangerous, what a pompous and unwarrented comment, its domestic gas we are teaching them, not brain surgery, how hard is it? no wonder people get on their high horse with gas guys thinking they are the high and mighty, and before anyone jumps on me for this comment, i agree it takes time and skill to learn fault finding quickly and cost effectively, but basic gas servicing and installing is not hard if you have basic intelligence and endeavour, i mean look around you anyone of us can name tradesmen who are not fit to be called such, but have been doing the job for many years, but the old Lanarkshire saying of how you rated someone was " i wouldnt send him to work in my grannies house"
my opinion is slightly different, as to us facing court the system is the same for new entrants as for the great pool of experts, in the game for many years who make mistakes/are careless and injure people, they will inspect the examination process and if it is found to be robust and fair and delivered professionally then you are right i wont go to court, if you come through the centre and fly through because you are an expert then go on to injure someone through negligence or cutting corners or an honest mistake why should i get the blame? you passed an exam set by others and adminitered by me using a tried and tested method, YOU killed them not me, same scenario as a driver killing 3 of his passengers 3 days after passing the test, who is to blame the driving instructor, the examiner, both, OR the driver who should know better, as to how much gas work is out there, you will be better placed than me to say, so as a reply to your statement how much work do you have at the moment for yourself if self employed or for your guys if you have people working for you,
if you have anyone working for you i would expect you to have a robust method statement or management system in place to protect your company from getting into trouble if one of your guys killed someone, as you seem to think you are better than some on here im assuming your business accumen is as good as your gas & plumbing skills so you will have all this in place, and also i think im right in saying you have commented on both gas and plumbing so if im right and you do both which are you time served in and which are you a ccc in,
im a time served plumber so im a ccc into gas, but im doing ok and havent killed anyone yet, and i honestly feel im careful dedicated enough to ensure as best i can that i dont kill anyone, but as a gas ccc its only a matter of time.
