Tbh if you are employed and whoever you are with atm don't do commercial they only way is to go do your commercial acs at your own expense then go bluff your way into a job. If you don't kill anybody in the 1st couple of weeks you should be fine 🙂

I'm not bothering renewing my comcats when they run out...
Better off going for boosters if you haven't, don't want to work on greasy kitchen equipment and get them nice manicured hands dirty crop

Funnily enough I did boosters a couple of weeks ago

Commercial catering/ kitchen and appliances
The gas side of commercial is the easy bit
It's everything else that goes with it.
Most light comercial isn't anything more than a larger domestic set up
But when you start going larger if you haven't got brass balls when the crap hits the fan or if you're not particularly educated on electrics/controls then you'll sweat quite abit.

Agree with Killy Bing, light commercial boilers are just big domestic so if you're competent with that you'll be fine, if you want to do package burners, unit heaters, cabinet heaters, plaque and radiant tube then get the ACS, go on some manufacturers courses, then find a tame experienced Commercial guy and work with him for free for a day a week until you're up to speed, short term pain, long term gain... avoid catering like the plague in my opinion 😉
the big thing with commercial is not to be scared or put off by the size of stuff bigger doesnt always mean harder most of the large boiler with package burners can be opened up in less time than a small domestic boiler, the hard bit comes with setting burners up and getting used to stuff being 3 phase. have done commercial and industrial for 33 years its just harder to pick up jobs.
Commercial is good but a lot of blokes would struggle with package burners and industrial sized ovens etc... in my opinion I think the gas training and examination process is a little under par when it comes to prepping you for any large scale work. I used to work on large commercial gas burning equipment (schools, hospitals etc...) but working in large factories is a complete different game, commercial tickets shouldn't cover this line of work.
