Been stuck abroad for a year now. Still stuck abroad. Italian red tape is, as they say, 'something else'. I used to think regulation was about protecting people, and often it is, but not over here. Mad country, not sure how it functions at all. They ask you to provide government mapping...
Good afternoon, before I start I appreciate I may be on a hiding to nothing here but here goes. I spent time working as a tradesman with my Dad back when I was 16 but lacked the foresight to see it through, and ended up working in IT for the last 15 years. However, I've got to a point where I...

I just completed the BPEC water regs course and boy do I find it useless.
Perhaps course is not the right term as I had about 1 hr of presentation followed by an hour of exam and that was it.
It was an open book exam and the page and line on which the answer was found was written underneath each...
Hi

I was working full time, but I am currently furloughed. I was looking at doing one of these fast track courses, having to pay nearly £8k. After reading on a few forums that these aren’t worth it, you don’t get the proper...
Hi everyone
I'm about to progress from Level 2 C&G to Level 3 (starting in September):
I'd always thought i would do the Level 3 Gas, as this was the only course my local college offered, but i've just found out they're now also offering Level 3 Plumbing and Heating.
