Anyone done an online course for cert? Most subbing jobs now require one. Did a course about 6 years ago but there was an expiry date on the cert...... I'm guessing asbestos has mutated or summat to justify doing a course every couple of years!!

Level 2 Diploma 6035 recently completed at college. I Have been offered a place at college for the level 3 but all the feed back on here implies that its a waste of time. Just yesterday i was offered a job with a company that i did some work experience for earlier on in the year. I am not sure...
Hi all, just a quick question. If I do a gas course that entails a portfolio can my gas safe colleague sign the work that I do? As I work on the gas with him mostly.
Hi Folks,
I am very sure this question comes up a lot, but I am a little stuck.
