Gas Courses

[plumben]

So as some of you may know ive been waiting for my certificates from the college for just coming up to a year and they still keep changing there mind about if the work is finished or not, I'm seriously thinking about doing a separate course just to get my gas as its effecting my work and customer base as i've been turning down gas work for the last year with an average of about 2-6 calls a week for gas work,

My question is whats the best option if i do choose to go another route?

go and take the acs exams, then sign up with gas safe, bet you wont be asked for a portfolio, even though I did one, it wasnt available to the inspector when he came as the college still had mine, so i never saw it again. Waste of time anyhow, anyone can forge a signature in the portfolio..................

Anybody can take the ACS assessment without a portfolio but the candidate must achieve a standard accepted by the assessor, then said candidate can apply to gas safe for a probationary period

Are they after more money?

Is it a college of FE or a 'college' of fast track profit?
