Do OLCI help get Gas Safe Certification

[81ll]

OLCI have told me that if I train with them they will help me get gas safe certification.

Is that right, I believe you can only get this by doing actual work experience hence not sure they can help.

Have OLCI helped anyone else get Gas Safe certification?

Hiya
I doubt that anyone could become GSR with just training.
But I could be wrong.

Why not phone Gas Safe and ask them directly.

anyone can help, depends what they mean by help, can you explain please

They must be Helping you get work experience in order to get you fully G.S registered.

From their website;

Portfolio of Evidence where you gain on-site work experience. If you don’t have access to onsite work, we may be able to assist you although we cannot guarantee you a position. The work you will need to complete when compiling your portfolio of evidence will vary depending on the nature of the jobs you undertake.


Of course it's not in big letters on the website....

Well that says it all ! (Maybe & No Guarantee) just think about how meny Plumbers are out of work !!

OLCI Help you with your portfolio??

NO! That is total BS!

I know for a fact that they will use this incentive to convince you join to them. But when it comes to crunch they do not do anything for you at all, except lead you up the garden path.

When you talk to them ask them what guarantees they can offer you, and get every thing in writing!!!!

I know one training agency who help trainees through their portfolio. The guy who runs the training company also has a GSR business, but I think that he mainly offers this to trainees who are either long standing plumbers looking to add gas to their range, or to people who used to be registered years ago but have let it lapse for some reason.
