If you've done 100s, wouldnt you of thought of taking pictures for your portfolio? Thats what majority of us did

Not so sure about that, I've never taken pictures of any of my installs, never thought I would ever need them.

Will your quals be valid in New Zealand?

You've never had to have pictures to get your qualifications? I.e ACS or NVQ's?

Ex army. Yet you've worked for spi and fitted 100s of boilers.

Sounds a little suspect to me :s

This guy is like the people who undercut us and fit hundreds of boilers for less than minimum wage

We got our quals before cameras ACS and NVQ's were invented :smile:

Ha Ha, I'm not that young.

I was apprenticed and City & Guilds qualified before ACS was ever dreamed about and a level three NVQ (had it existed) would have amounted to perhaps the second year of a four year apprenticeship.
