Jeeze I give up. The OP just wanted to know what qualifications Brit Gas, EON etc looked for. Probably best if you just ask them direct.
The C&G offer so many qualifs it is hard to identify which tickets to aim for.
All these replies just present a catch 22 of - cant get qualified without a job - cant get a job without being qualified.
Its a shame that you now decide to give up when confronted with the facts.
C&G's offer all the correct qualifications, they cover each trade, I think its very easy, what is it you find hard to understand? ill try to help you
No catch 22, of course you cannot get a job as a plumber without being qualified, did you think you could? You can get qualified without having a job as a plumber, this has always been the case, its called an apprenticeship. That option is still open.
i fear from your posts that you are looking for a short cut, because you are struggling to find one you are letting your frustrations get the better of you, thats fine I understand your frustration, however it is not our fault or the fault of qualified engineers and as such you shouldnt get angry with those posting the facts for you on here.
C&G's are only an awarding organisation, they do not write the standards, you should try summitskills
