Getting onto ACS Courses

[allenvb]

Dear all,
I know this subject has come up a number of times, but I don't know if there's been any change/development.

I would like to get onto an ACS course, but I can't as I don't work in the Gas industry (although I am a C+G qualified plumber) does anyone know how I can get on a course. I contacted CORGI to put this point across, and the reply I got was 'We understand your problem, but get back in touch with us when you have attained you ACS and you can register'

Can anyone help!!

in addition to your c&G you will need at least 80hrs work experiance under the direct supervision of a rgi

then you can enter as a level two entrant

Sorry mate i am miles away from you and didnt mean to be flippant, but you must realise that you will be asking someone to effectivly train up a competetor I wish you all the luck

you may be better going to the likes of BG or servowarm who are advertising for trainee gas engineers with qualifications like yours
