Advice about commercial gas

View the thread, titled "Advice about commercial gas" which is posted in Industrial Plumbing Advice Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

Yes you can but you need to prove your working in a commercial environment and I think a min of 6 months portfolio work
 
Sorry thought I listed which course it was it’s the cocn1 qualification

then the extra ones eg icpn,tctp1
 
Do you have the work in place for the onsite folder eg commercial gas work ?

Yeah I have the work there I work in a prison (bit hard to take photos for a portfolio) , but if not I can I ask to go with the sub contractors what come in and Service and repair all 20 odd boilers
 
Ensure that you have the contacts in place in order for you to complete your portfolio.
Commercial gas is a completely different animal compared to domestic, if it was me personally, if you're at entry-level in terms of experience - get a few more months under your belt and see if it's actually for you, attaining your commercial gas tickets can be a very costly and time consuming process even with the right experience and contacts.

Hey thanks for the reply,
Yeah I am going to start emailing and phoning companies to see if I can do my portfolio with them, unless there is someone on here who lives Suffolk way to help out

Phone rather than email. In normal, non-covid circs, visit rather than phone.

It's much easier to say 'no' to an email than to someone who is in front of you.

Yeah that is true I will have to do that,
But some people are telling me that I should do domestic instead of commercial so I don’t no
 
If you work in a Commercial environment now, you're more likely to get a Commercial gas job than a Domestic one and the portfollio will be easier to sort out.

I did Commercial gas for 20 years before retiring, although I had done oil years previously and some gas before Corgi registration was mandatory.
I enjoyed Commercial Gas, I don't think I would have enjoyed Domestic as much.

Hey I work in a prison with 20 odd boilers,
So I was hoping to do the commercial gas for here and then hopefully maybe some private work, that’s if there is private work in commercial gas?
