Dunno how that can be right Simon, how much experience does one need to be a meter fitter.
Unless of course the requirement is for Testing and Purging experience, but that said, you must be deemed competent to hold CCN1

thats insane!

ccn1 + met1

what more experience do u need??? u have ccn1.

 

[tamz]

Anyone who can read can pass CCN1 but even for the most mundane and seemingly simple of jobs you still need experience.
As for tagging along, meter fitters work for companies. A bit like asking your mate if you can tag along to his job. It's not going to happen.

Price work leads to rushed jobs! Most metering work is being brought in house by the suppliers now though - best bet would be to send your CV to the big companies.
