Gas safety register course advice

[Fergy449]

Hi guys, can anybody offer advice on the gas safety register. I am considering putting myself through the ccn1 course but it is quite costly (£1200). I have worked with domestic gas before with a previous employer but my only worry is getting enough experience after i complete the course. Has anyone been in the same situation or offer any tips, thanks.

That's not a bad price tbh mate. It cost me £3000 for my one year gas apprenticeship and acs exam.

 

[Fergy449]

That is expensive. This course im about to enter is in belfast. It covers CCN1 Core domestic Gas SafetyCENWAT1 Gas Central Heating Boilers & Water Heaters (install, service & commission)
CPA1 (needed for boiler servicing & commissioning & installation of Flue less fires)

5 day course aswel!

Yes mate. Tamar st near the oddessy?? Did you get the ccn1 yourself?

 

[Dotty]

Among other things!

You'll have Gerry and Ricky looking after you, sound guys and a lot of knowledge between them.

Whereabouts in NI are you?

 

[Fergy449]

Just in lurgan.

I got talking to a guy davy. He was sound over the phone and made me feel confident to go for it. Very good pass rate with them guys.

I'm just down the road from you then. David's the salesman and co owner of CCTS but yeah they do have a good pass rate which is entirely down to their style of training.

Take a jumper, the workshops are cold.

How much are they charging you for CPA as its now included in the CCN, sounds like a gimmick to say you are getting something included in the price, like "new tyre including fitting for £150 pounds, which includes free air, its hardly a deal breaker is it
£1200 for a reassessment ccn1 and CENWAT including training is a fair price,

 

[Dotty]

It is included in the CCN1 with them Kirk, They keep it in the sales patter because guys still ask for it over here if they're not told they're getting it. In some ways we're still a bit backward!

I asked the question while I was there renewing my certs.

Shouldn't you be out cooing over your new grandson?

If they are fast pace courses stay well away from them

 

[kirkgas]

He's reassessment so why should he stay away from a short refresher course? He simply needs some reminders and pointers to the new stuff then do his exam again

There are some places over here that are about £1k for reassessment training and reassessment over 5 days

Ricky is dead good though he watches me out the corner of his eye when I'm on one of his courses. Gerry is brilliant and can tell you some stories!

They're not fast paced except on refresher. There are two of us vouching for CCTS on here.
