sorry to say youve got no chance of a job

your best bet is to go as a plumbers mate for a couple of years and then move onto the gas side
 
And I m not asking for a job because I m not after your money, what I m looking is get some experience,

so why go for the qualification before you have any experience

but your thinking i can put two pieces of pipe together so i will be fine
 
Because you have to walk before you win marathon

exactly so i say again why have you paid for the qualifications if you have no experience / idea of systems etc
 
To become a doctor you don’t go to operation theatre Straight away you finish your education first then you work with somebody for experience,

no you learn the underpinning knowledge first like i said in post 16

to learn this trade its going tom take a min of 2 years ask anyone on here
 
The powers that be need to get a grip on this. I don't really understand NVQs etc - I am from the days of Gity an Guild. I do understand that course providers are misleading folk, and selling expensive courses to the slightly desperate. It is not fair to call these punters gullible - who would think that the govt. would allow "colleges" to encourage guys to give up good, but possibly uninspiring, jobs, take out loans, work for free - all to (typically) end up, at best, swapping out meters.

At the very least, it should be the providers responsibility to provide mentors - and pay us. When I had a shop, it was a weekly routine to decline the offer of "free" labour in return for assistance to build a portfolio. I tried hard to be positive with them, while refusing their offers
 
Thanks for everybody's advise and I've found 1 gas safe engineer and today I m going to start with him.
Thanks
Good luck not really sure why you saw fit to dislike my post unfortunately it’s true. You could’ve done with a proper college type introduction to plumbing before moving onto gas. People trying to run before they can walk
