Thanks I work for a small building firm on new builds. Theres 3 plumbers including me my boss begin gas safe don't think the firm requires another gas safe man at the momment although things are picking up. So am looking at putting me self through it. Im not fat track did one day a week at college while working the rest for a firm.

Is your plan to leave and set up then else it seems a bit daft working for a firm and paying it yourself mate.

Wanting to get it so can either earn more were I am or go somewere else, suppose would be worth asking if they would pay anything towards it. Does it cost a couple of grand?

 

[Thoggy]

Yeah your looking at a few grand, if you go college a day or 2 nights a week to get acs then you've all the ccn1 and appliances, it does add up.
