Hello.

I completed my Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Pluming & Heating last year through an Apprenticeship with the company i am currently working for, i would of liked to have stayed on my apprenticeship and completed my level 3 but the company no-longer has any plumbing work and for the past year i have just been used as a laborer doing joinery, building and general maintenance work. But i have been working for a family business part-time too, doing house refurbishments so have continued to do plumbing based work there.

Financially i can not leave my current job to find another apprenticeship that are usually poorly paid for my third year so can not get my Level 3.

What options do i have for just doing the gas training, such as fast-track training / night courses preferably within Greater-Manchester, Warrington area, and then what is the next stage of getting myself on the Gas Register?


I will openly say that I'm not ready to blitz a course and go out tackling boilers on my own as i need more experience with gas, i am relatively confident with myself on the heating system aspects of work and i have a few contacts that i could possibly work along side of for a short-time to get my portfolio if one is required?

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
