Have an issue at the moment and a big decision to make;

I currently hold my level 2 diploma in domestic plumbing and heating and I am studying for my level 3, recently ive been offered a full time job working for a small company five days a week and theyre putting me onto a Gas Safe course free of charge, the issue I have is that my diploma course is pretty worthless its just the theory and the practical aspects of the NVQ, my main question is do you really need to have an NVQ which will take an additional year or is it better to work and get the experience whilst obtaining my gas safe?

Hi, I’m looking to retrain as a gas engineer and do a new entrants gas course. I’m a bit concerned by the ‘on-job’ work experience/shadowing, as some course want to charge £1500 to pair you up with a qualified engineer. Some courses don’t offer pairing and suggest you find your own engineer to...
