Hi guys, just did a landlords cert on a glow worm 23c. altough the FGA readings were within the tolerances, when i was looking at the gas valve which is a zero govenor type. this valve had no upper and lower limit adjusters (to get the correct air/gas ratio) so my question is if this boiler was to have a bad fga reading how would you adjust it to make it right again? or would it be a fan issue?

Hi Everyone
This is my first ever blog on this forum, can one please tell me if these plumbing and gas central heating training centers do anyone a good deed.
So far I have not read any good comments on them . Sales people talk fanatastic about the training aspects, and promise to put you on placements to achieve your Gas Safe certification after working for few months on site with engineers of your choice.
Can anyone please advise me on this forth coming course I am planning to go on?
Thanks

I'm Mark from M-sec Electrical of Wakefield. Currently an electrical contractor, I have begun taking on bathroom and plumbing work as well, subbyed out to lads with the relevant experience and quals of course!
In addition I have enrolled myself on the Train4TradeSkills course as a starting point and will be looking to expand my business, hopefully with Gassafe registration over the next 3 or 4 years. I would expect plenty of questions to come from me!
Also, if anyone has any electrical questions, please feel free to PM me and I'll help in any way I can.

I need a work placement asap as I am about to start a gas installation and maintenance course. The person I was meant to be going with has taken a job on commercial so I wont be able to go with him.
I have a 6129 plumbing certificate and can work Thursday to Sunday, working the odd day or all four. I will need photos of work completed and proof of evidence sheets signing off. I have my own tools and transport and am willing to travel if work is regular. I am hard working and not scared to get my hands dirty.
If you can help me in any way please get in touch asap
Thank you
