Tify to Gas Engineer, what will it take?

[SimonG]

Try getting the same answer from ACS on a repeat call. Never dealt with them or gas safe but I find all these bodies are the same, full of failed engineers, oops apologies, technicians who can't give you the same answer twice.

Just a shame you won't report back that the conversation you had with ACS had led you up the garden path.

And as everyday is a school day, 3 or 4 years at university is not the only route to earning yourself a degree. But then a clever fecker like you would know that.

Good luck yourself

So ignorant & disrespectful Simon, I was saying good luck to other tiffy's reading this thread not you or your rabble.

No a degree comes from studying at uni, no exceptions, you lot just make it up as you go along (yes I know NVQ level 5 is degree level but you still have to study at uni).

Why dont you redefine some other qualifications while you are at it?

Asking a straightforward questing on this site has been an eye opener, ive read most of the arrogant answers and I know where most of you sit, what an absolute disgrace to your profession some of you are.

There are plenty of people on here that appreciate the advice we give mate. Why post on here if you had already made your mind up? (ACS get paid if you pass or fail and if you do the training or not) As I have said before it is just an opinion. You make your own decisions not us. If you are not happy with peoples responses then why comment further? As for laying into people you have no idea about after you ask for an opinion that’s another matter. (I have said my peace, I am now done)

[QUOTE="Tino Mclaren, post: 1000694,

Only one person being ignorant, disrespectful and up their own ar$e, yourself.

I'm not redefining a degree or putting down the thousands of people who have gained degrees without studying for three or four years at uni. But have studied whilst holding down full time jobs.

Taking your definition that a degree from uni would then negate a world were people would be able to career change. Which would then make your own post mute.

If you call being a disgrace telling people how things are then crack on.

Career changing or starting out in this profession is a mare and I don't care what you have supposedly been told by ACS.

I have the greatest respect for somebody willing to put in the hard yards to change career paths. There are quite a number on this forum and some who have given you some hard truths.

The truth is that even if you do succeed you will not be an asset to the industry.

An arrogant man who is incapable of accepting his limitations is a dangerous individual.

Well thanks but I have been advised by the ACS themselves, you cant get much better advice than that can you?

Some of the Technicians on here (sorry you are not engineers, that requires 3/4 years at uni and a degree - we all know gas engineer is a technician so lets call a spade a spade) are way too abusive to be of any help and really dont understand the context as its not cropped us as a question before (having searched the site).

Some of you think you know it all but you really dont, I will be working as a gas technician in as little as 3 months because of my background. It seems you cant handle this fact, I have no beef on here but you are all very much wrong and I suggest instead of just posting a knee-jerk 'opinion' you actually ask someone who knows like ACS (UKAS) and then you will be enlightened and know the actual 'facts'.

Really you do your fellow technicians no favours by acting in this manor, I suggest you put the hammer away and use the grey matter.

So for any other Instrument Technicians looking at this thread:
1- Take the CCN1 exam direct with your local college (fee's vary but it's £100's rather than £1000's
2 - Give the ACS your working history and let them do their checks
3 - You will be on probation for 12 months, you can work with a mentor or as a self employed gas tech but you must be available to the ACS to have your work checked during this period.

Good luck!

I bet you, you won’t pass the acs. Your certificates won’t help you finding a boiler fault. But, as you told us already we do not know a thing. If you need an engineer you can call us

[Tino Mclaren]

Disgraceful bunch, I would never talk to my fellow colleagues like this.

The original bunch who dissed me have stopped posting, they are laughing, they loaded the bullets and their little idiots fire the gun, more fool you lot, little sheep.

One simple question and you try to destroy the poster.

Stop feeding the troll.

End of !
