To be CORGI registered you have to prove competancy and belong to CORGI
Corgi are the registration authority that's all, nothing else. They keep a list of those people.
Passing a simple exam does not mean the person is
"competent". Competency comes with practice in the field - what you do, your results.

Drivel Eh? wtf are you talking about that is how to be CORGI registered as per their definition
Just for your info Dr Duffer you specifically picked out one of my remarks and used it for your own (and most would say BORING) agenda so go easy on your usual disparging ill concieved and frankly igorant manner for a mo and GET THE WHOLE FACTS before you shoot off at the mouth
Please read ALL my posting before using me to justify your Dogma and you will see that I am in agreement with you.
IMHO ACS and Corgi registeration DOES NOT prove anything other than you have learnt enough to go to a training center, give them a shed load of cash and then walk out with a meaningless piece of paper.
it does not mean
1 you are safe to work on gas (how many scenerios of NCS AR or ID are actually used in CCN1 or any of the elements?)
2 You know how to strip down an appliance (I got to take the cover of a Suprima and a kingfisher on my CCN1 and CEN1 woop de doo)
3 You can recognise an appliance failure (on my CEN1 they had take the comman off the AFS!, on my CKR1 they hadnt put the top on the burner properly, on my WAT1 they didnt put a fault in it at all, same with the space heaters. and For a laugh (because i can only suppose it made them smile) I had to "make up" faults on a non existant WAU for my WAU1.
The ACS should be scrapped for the money making scheme that it is. It is joke it is pathetic and IMHO it WILL get someone killed because it is sending fitters out there with an inflated sense of their own ability that has no basis in truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone who has been doing the job for a good few years really feel that they have achieved something when they do their retake??? or do you, like me, just feel the lightness in wallet and a sense of wasted time?
In summation DD I agree whole heartedly with you.
Rant over, and who the heck do we talk to about our concerns over the rip off that is ACS??
