Gas course portfolio?

[macka09]

Hi all, just a quick question. If I do a gas course that entails a portfolio can my gas safe colleague sign the work that I do? As I work on the gas with him mostly.

Who else is gonna sign it, the postman?[emoji38]

Check with the training provider about your portfolio. Depending on your experience some centres are waiving the obligation to fill a portfolio with a letter from your mentor. At least thats what I was told

I have heard that about the portfolio to be fair but the centre I went to didn't mention it. In regards to who's signing it off it could be my boss or colleagues.

The person who physically stand behind you watching you doing the work properly is the only person who can sign that specific sheet

But they have to be a gas safe engineer?

Sorry, yes they do, didn't want to insult anyone by stating that

No offence taken lol. As long as I know that it hasn't got to be the boss that's fine.

One more thing. When you first do your ACS and are Gas Safe registered are you not legally allowed to work on your own as an engineer?

Who's giving you info? Once your qualified your qualified! Gas safe may come and see you during your first year..... They also may not!

Lol it's just something a colleague said today. He's gas safe registered but the boss has to be involved when commissioning. He's been gas safe for nearly 10 years.
