I understand that i'll need to do the ACS course which my college implements alongside the NVQ3. I can't seem to find a way of doing this or getting registered with CORGI without leaving the family self employed business and taking a job with a local CORGI registered plumbing company.

Is there any way around this?

Do i need to be working in the gas field to even start my ACS course etc?

Any help would be greatly recieved

Your absolutely correct there Re: Work Experience. The only way to get your Level 3 is to go and be somebod'ys skivvy for 60 hours. You can stay self employed but work as a sub contractor for the 60 hours (lets say 8 hours per week for 8 weeks). Then that should do it.

Only problem there is finding somebody that will take you on. Hell would freeze over first.......
