And remind me what most A rated boilers have.
DonT think by passing that means anything i could train my 16 year old lad up to pass it in about a week. It is feking embarassing how easy it is.
But i would never let him out in the real world

New starters (class 4) do a harder acs than time served (class 1)
i worked with with plumbers rgi that couldent pass the tests i did...they said this not me
no im not saying we know more than you guys..i know we dont. i know the test i did wasn't easy 16 failed outa 18 and to say your 16 year old could pass 20 exams all 100% pass rate all in 1 week is a joke you couldent evan have the time for the tests in that week.i also worked free of charge for 7 months
Passing a test has little to do with knowledge; it has to do with knowing how to pass the test.
A week is a bit quick, but I could coach somebody from scratch to passing the test if he was bright, and teachable. He would be a danger to himself and others if he worked on his own, but he would pass the test.
There are various ways of optimising your chances with multiple choice, and if you have that down pat, you easily gain 100% if you are not that good compared to those who don't know the techniques.
Succesfully completing your acs means no more than that you have a basic working knowledge of theoretical gassafety, and that you know how to verify details.

This is why we have to provide evidence of working experience. I was surprised at my last assessment. Anyone with a basic knowledge and an ability to use books will find it fairly passable. I didn't think it fair on blokes I have been working for thirty years and were better gas fitters than me were struggling because nobody showed them where the index was.

I know what acs is all about. From what we do to resit to what newbies do i also I done the original which was over 1000 questions .
I know the standard of those taking it is sometimes embarassing
2 papers on resit pipework and fluing and vent total about 60 questions took less than 90 minutes .
Couple of guys took 9 hours ,9 feking hours .
Guy spending half hour readin standard fire insructions cause he didnt know if it was positive or negative case.
Too many people coming into this industry and trying to run before they can even walk. seeing ££££££££££££ before there eyes.
Acs is all about being able to read, understand find it in a book and use common sense above all.
But it doesnt qualify you to in the real world.
PS . i dont have a beef about passing on experience i have taught enough apprentices in my time but one thing i always say is at least listen and find things out for yourself they are given enough books then discuss it
