Pathetic simple as that. Kirk don't ever try an defend your lot. Cause if money was not your god you would say exactly the same as delta
i think i have only agreed with delta once and that was about coatbridge where i live, so if money is my god and not deltas then why is he always moaning about how little he can earn, you NEVER here me moaning about what i earn, cause when i want to earn more i do something about it, and dont come on here and whinge like a girl cause people are joining in what i do and are choosing to do it cheaper than me, which is there choice, i dont know who you know who has done a 6 month full time course, but i know about 50 or so, and many many of them are very able to service a boiler or to fit one, how hard is it to check a new boiler with aa FGA and interpret the results, or to fit a new boiler in place of an old one, the truth is that is is VERY easy, and you and some like you want to perpetuate the myth that you are super qualified and an industry expert,
a serious question for you and those joining in the training bashing "could you teach someone who is clever, vastly experienced and very keen to fit a boiler on a wall as per regs and MI and to get it to work" i bet you could and have, so whats the difference, except i have taught about 50 or so, get over it, people are joining in what they see as as fairly easy trade and doing a damn fine job, yes there are those who are not doing a good job, and as i have said hundreds of times just a s bad as some of the experts we all know, if people have the money and notion to do it, its nothing to do with you, concentrate on customer retention and you r business will be fine, and if not too bad, it isnt and shouldnt be a closed shop, and if you really want to solve the prob, take on an apprentice draw the funding and make your once great industry good again, or do what you are doing and go on a forum and whine like a girl
i will continue to work for someone who owns a training centre for as long as i want to or until he decides that the minimal profit he makes isnt worth the bother and he will do something else and so will i, no worries either way, as i have other things to do that are far more profitable than working for what i earn per hour at the moment, and a lot of the time i do in training id for plumbing apprentices, and construction apprentices who do renewables awareness as part of their course, so best we agree to disagree, you do what you want ( iassume its what you want cause you are doing it) and i will do what i do cause i enjoy it,
PS remember when you need to do your ACS re-assessment give me a bell for a price, you and delta are cordially invited to taje your ACS assessment for 1/2 price as you will sail through CCN1 and appliances in 2 days as experts
