Oil Heating/Boiler Engineers
Hi, Perhaps someone has asked this before but I have looked and looked and only found a couple of gas guys in the same position! I have been an oil heating engineer for 5 years over here, I am also unvented qualified, legionella/disinfection qualified as well as Oftec Qualified and registered. We have been running our own business over in the UK for 5 years now. We also install solar and Geo thermal heating systems.
My question is 'Has anyone ever been accepted into the Plumbers, Gas fitters and Drainlayers assessment without having an NVQ3? I am 36 and a time served avionics engineer in the RAF for 13 years before this and have various quals including BTEC National.
ANY and I mean ANY advice would be gratefully recieved as we just seem to be going in circles. The 'Board' reply to emails seemed to be not to helpful! Just stating what I had already read about NVQ 3!!!!
Any others finding this obstacle??????
Regards
Simon & Anna, Norfolk UK
