ERR don't appear to be that bad and their communication is much better than OLCI.
I was with OLCI until ERR took them over.
OLCI didn't keep any records of the modules and exams that I passed so I have to attend the ERR Wolverhampton centre for another 10 days to go over stuff that I've already done but at least then I can have my portfolio submitted and I might, just might, be able to take my ACS exam.
My advice would be to keep with ERR until you know for definite that it's not going in the direction you want, and then, after talking to them because they are quite agreeable, cancel your direct debit if you feel you need to.
Good luck with whichever path you choose

having done the ERR training i find it amusing the trainers wear logo'd shirts that have ATL / ERR / T4TS logos all on the same shirt....
If you are paying through a loan company and you keep up your payments then if they have gone bust then you will have some credit come back. If you cancel you may lose everything yopu have paid in. Give it a go at a training centre 1st.

iv kept my payments up to the loan company. so what would be the next step for me? as i signed the agreement with ATL so i would like to get out of it as they've broke the promise so what should be the next thing for me to do?

Hi
look, i am no expert but i would start as follows:
- get your credit agreement and check all the small print, the stuff that no-one ever reads! Call the company related to that agreement.
- look up threads here related to T4TS (train for trade skills) and some ops who have posted there may be able to assist as there has been a lot of pain there.
- look at the OLCI sticky on the front page, maybe something there
Good luck, Andy

Hi Robert,

It sounds like we're in the same boat. I did my 10 days gas training with OLCI and it's taken me years to get my portfolio together. Have you been told you have to do your gas training again before you can progress to ACS?
