Plumber Training and Getting Corgi registered, Any Advice?

[Nige F]

and am toying with the idea of getting into the field.

Any advice regarding the industry and qualifications much appreciated...

I don`t know about quals. Mine are worthless, now the Corgi has ****ed right up my leg But I do know that all the fields round here are full of shyte.........hence the saying "like **** in a field" meaning they are all over the place .......bit like wanabee plumbers

Stick to colleges or CITB training centres that are more regulated. There is no quick way to do it properly. I think you now have to have 70 hours gas experience working with a corgi before you can do gas tickets.

i think you'll find it's 70 days, not hours

no gas is right, my local training provider insists on 80hours or two weeks work before accepting a candidate on a ACS course

I think CORGI insist on 18 months (after acs achievement) experiance before they will let you have your own CORGI badge.

I got my corgi badge last year-2 weeks after passing my acs exams.
was allowed to take my acs exams after a 9 month bpec gas foun dation course+ some onsite work

Thats a pretty intensive and comprehensive course so mebbe the yappies let you through, but I reckon you must be barmy to go it alone after 9 months!!

At least under someones Badge you still have support and someone to pull the fat out of the fire should summink go wrong

as a self employed johnnie your on your own...No one to help

but good luck anyway
