NVQ Level 3 Domestic Gas Installation

[Helen BG]

Hi everyone, this is Helen at British Gas recruitment. Our entry requirements for Qualified Service and Repair Engineers have just changed, and we can now only accept the NVQ in Domestic Gas Installation, Level 2 or 3.
I am keen to find out if many people have this qualification, how common it is amongst people currently working as Gas Engineers, and which colleges provide it.

If anyone has any information at all I would be really grateful, as it is making our current recruitment a little tricky!

Thanks

Only "NVQ in Domestic Gas Installation" ? How about NVQ 2 Diploma Plumbing & Heating with ACS and own Gas Safe registration?
