Never did the training for years now. Fire through the questions as quick as they'll give me them and the practical is the same old pysh. Very little changes in the regs and if you are not sure look it up. Btw i don't know it all either but i know how to find it quickly.
It is more a nerves/confidence thing with a lot of guys. They know the answers and can do the stuff blindfolded but panic a bit in a classroom exam situation.

There are always some tho who you wouldn't let them light a pilot but scarily they manage to pass!
 
Got my renewals in March, plus I'm doing ccn1 on top which should confuse me nicely after years of just doing commercial.
 
True but I've also got new contract , but I need oil as my old mentor has now fully retired from the trade and he/we/I still have some good commercial properties on oil , of which 4 boilers are due services in April

I see pal, if you get stuck, Mark does commercial oil on anything, Nu way, EOGB ETC ETC, I used to but don't bother now, hate my tools and van stinking up lol, can always get him to sub pal, if you get mowed out!
 
Oft10-101 only qualifies you for domestic and light commercial though Lee, depending on the size of these boilers you've taken on I would suggest you look into the oft10-201 - commercial up to 2Mw, I would also strongly recommend oft10-600a - installation and maintenance of commercial and industrial oil tanks.

You'd spoil a good breakfast
 
I'm due in a couple of months time as well.
Always amazed how some people find the classroom/workshop such a different enviroment and really freeze.
I remember last assessment when a guy in other bay was asked questions that I'd just been asked, he had no idea and was only 10 feet from where I was.
The guy was in late 50's and been doing it for ever and a day but just couldn't get the answers out.

sadly seen this quite a few times, on good guys that do the job with their eyes shut too!
 
That sounds like Dave...Roy is 6ft Dave Dickinson orange tan, "is everybody happy" that's his saying

Roy's a legend, top guy. Sadly retired last year though.
