Hi,
I am starting a gas training course next month ( PG1 ) which initially involves 12 full day classroom sessions ( theory and practical study ) after which i am required to find work experience where i will be supervised by a gas safe engineer. For my portfolio, i must provide a variety of 40 supervised jobs ( minimum ) in a 6 - 8 month period after which i will be assessed for ACS gas safe certification. I am in Lincoln and i am in search for help on this. There are companies set up for this but they are all miles away such as Manchester
Thankyou
Rick

Hi,
Forgot to tell you about myself. I am a 25 year served consumer electronics repair engineer, repairing televisions, VCRs etc down to tumble dryers and washing machines. unfortunately, electronics repair in the small shop is being swallowed by big corporations, and huge scale repair numbers become a time issue where huge quantity turnover has to be fulfilled, and therefore the repair becomes a 'throw away board swapping' policy which puts the skilled repair technician in a bad position. A position that can be replaced by anyone that can change a pcb. This is why i am changing my career and if there is one thing i can use in the new career of plumbing and heating, is the ability to repair boiler pcbs.
Thanks
Rick
