    noting to do with boiler manuals. that's part of your apprenticeship. this is chemistry of gas . big boys stuff. A specialist field only few fitters know about.

    and any one giving advice in this area. should produce their qualifications. This is not like connecting up your domestic gas boiler. any one wants my qualifications in that area, ill gladly pm them to you

    Im confused. Why would I want your qualifications ?

    I was talking about a specialist field. you wouldn't understand. Do you think gas boilers only run on lpg and natural gas. Would you say gases could be mixed and used.

    other than that


    career prospects would be 1 and no 2 :confused:

    dtp79 that last comment was not a smart comment. My intrest grew in that area due to working for a company that had a contract with a multi national gas company in Ireland. If you are interested in that area I can pass on some valuable information. drawings ect

    I wouldn't know any training crowd out of Yorkshire I'm afraid.

    Viper produce training manuals to assist gas engineers who are sitting their ACS in the UK, they present the information in a simplistic manor and would be a very good resource for any RGI. I have hard copies for years but the online version is just as good.

    secondly a lad like that I applaud. He has a stabile job and just wants to update his knowledge in the game he was trained. I did a GIFF course and found it to be great for fault finding. I would recommend that course to you. You have experience . So you will have no problem with that course. You will meet people there that may be take you along with them. The company I previously worked for paid for my course. But there was plenty of knowlegable and experience gas tech lads there just updating their skills.

    Best of luck to you. Maybe you could highlight what area you live in and you never know . You might get a pm. You be surprised.

    I think Carillion do the service work for them but I'm not 100%. They will have local contractors that do gas works so that would be who might have some experience work for you.

    its basics if you know the ins and outs of boilers and have a lot of experience working on them. However I picked up simple things that I would not have really thought off. Really helped simplify procedures.

    I only went on it because the company I worked for insisted on it (and paid) as well as the gis and gid. I can say if you done the gis and gid . it will be of great benefit to you. I did it with a lad called martain. Great fellow. I thought I was good until I met him. Ill pm the company to you as I don't believe in free advertisement.

    @ paddythefarmer.

    The best fault finder for any boiler is a mulimeter. after that knowing about combustion.rest is basics. if you are a plumber. that's why it annoys me when candlestick makers and ice cream men obtain these certs. as its not basics unless you are trained via an apprenticeship.
