Having spent 3 days last week in a refresher course, and then 2 days this week in exams, both Theory and Practical assessment, I have today passed the lot to keep my Gas Safe (Corgi) ticket for another 5 years :sifone: Fair play, that theory exam on Monday was a killer! 9 till 4.50pm with only half hour for lunch, and you have to get more than 80% right each paper, and only one more go to get the wrong ones right, so 100% to pass. They were a lot more stiffer exams this time than 5 year ago.

It will be only a few weeks till we are over that direction, we have good friends in Denmead.

I'll pass on the Portsmouth game thanks, thats unless the best team in the country are playing there;)

:cheers2:

Nice one Rob, an expensive exam to keep your ticket but needed to keep us safe. So much red tape now throughout the building trade putting a lot of unnesesery expence on to the self employed, as a joiner I have to be certified to fit a new window or pay a building inspector £80+vat to check the instalation and isue a cirtificate.

Your not wrong there, cost over a grand for those exams, plus 5 days loss of income. We now have to do Combustion gas analyser course, thats £200, than my LPG is in march, think about £500, and my oftec oil is up in the summer, think thats around £750.

Then the customer wonders why we charge £30-£40 an hour!
