    I came across an young electrican who joined up ALL of the connections and also bridged them ALL on a dual stat on oil boiler ( literly everything ) live.
    C to 1 to 2 to C on second stat to 1 to 2 to boiler.
    And no eirth because he said plastic didn't need it.
    His excuse was that nobody told him that its ment to work like a switch.!!!!

    He was not the plumbers regular electrican. The house holder got him.

    you obviously have a reason to defend not having a trade cert. you show me evidence of any qualification calling you an eng outside a degree in college. ill agree with you, don't think I will be. or should I say I know I wont

    Not that i need prove myself to you but my Trade Cert is clearly printed that i'm a Gas Service Engineer, you clearly have never heard of them, in our day you would be my mate. ;)
    And i would apprieciate it if you didnt edit my quotes to misquote me.

    Gas isn't treated as a stand alone trade here i know but it doesn't change the fact that there are professional gas engineers in the world, when anybody takes up the mantel of a RGI that are telling the world they have the same knowledge as a time served gas enginner.

    The minimum course for gas in the UK is 1 year which is 6 months in collage and 6 months on the tools(this could be run here), this C&G gives a very basic gas qualification or they could come here and do 18 days to become qualified.

    gary im talking about Ireland not the world. i only work in cork. so the regs in Africa and asia don't have any meaning to me.

    i don't care about the uk. my point is you serve your time then go on to achieve gid, oftec ect. no papers , you shouldn't be able to. you become a gas eng as you call it in the majority and proper way after serving your time

    Well perhaps you should. In the UK, a taxi driver could not become a gas "worker". Our beloved system in beloved & wonderful Ireland allows them to. We don't even have Building Control FFS!!! We could learn a hell of a lot from how things are done across the water. We copy their regs already cos the powers to be are cheap skates & won't pay people to write out own regs. I bit of tipex, a sharp pencil & whoops-a-daisy, does that reg says Irish on it. Oh look, it does.

    apprenticeship and then gid and the rest. back door system lets techs in. use to be known as plumbers mates

    I didnt invent it that's the name of the trade qualification and if they wanted to start running it here then that's what that tradesman who qulified would be called.

    Even I have to agree with the minimum 1 year system.
    But this should also be applied to oil and solid fuel. And in IRELAND.

    this is irland . the republic. not the uk, so when in rome don as the romans do. in this case serve your time, become a gas fitter ect. in the uk you do it your way and become an eng. here your a tech. however if you where from Ireland you would be a plumbers mate with a cert also known as a tech these days.
