Scotec 5 construction
Some SFAS (coal board) cert in heating design. (might have been between the Scotec's can't remember)
Unvented hot water systems (1987 and never did a resit but still very much legit)
ACops 1-5 +15
ACS Ccn1 and the std appliances boiler cookers fires warm air etc etc (a few times ongoing)
Met 4
ESP
Regt1
CongLP1 (this has now lapsed as don't get enough to warrant it)
Icpn1
Tpcp1
Commercial cores and Cocn1 (now lapsed as that contract finished a while back) and radiants and commercial direct fired whatever codes they had.
That Energy efficiency shyt one and solar.
Then i got into a bit commercial metering for a bit so i got some
Cmet2
RegT2
Last one was part P full scope.
What did i learn after the unvented stuff? Very little in a classroom but luckily i had a big network of guys who kept me right so i never killed anyone: not that i know off :smile:
In the middle of my 5 yearly donation to the cause atm which i'll finish the next time i have a free half day and hopefully will be my last but 1.
I might go legit on the source stuff if i can make a few quid from it. We'll see how that plays out but i doubt if it would be worth the effort.

I can still remember it. It was a Tuesday night about 5 oclock.
I'd been out shooting on the Sunday, got soaked through so came in and instead of cleaning the guns and locking them away i just stuck them in the wardrobe (but fortunately i stuck the shells and bullets on top).
I nearly died when i turned the corner and saw them running around the garden.

He got a sore rse for it but it was my fault which we have talked about as he got older (Tam the mediator and social worker;part time plumber:smile🙂
