Hi, As the title says.

I am leaving the army, have the relevant quals but need to become gas safe registered. Don't particularly need ELC for any courses at the moment so it would be handy if i could use them for GSR instead.

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Cheers

Spotter head on.

As you said, you are leaving the Army. What use will you getting your GSR provide to them?

Spotter head off.

Go for it. Don't ask, don't get.

ELC can be used long after having left the army, so whatever I use my ELC for in the future isn't going to benefit the army. It's for resettlement.

I'll ask around

What you talking about? so what if you done 30 years electric/gas? Congratulations. Why you replying if you got nothing useful to add? it's not my problem if others have pushed your prices down is it.

Fancy my chances do I? I am eligible for ELC, it has to be spent on something so what are you complaining for? if possible to spend on GSR why not? what difference does it make if it's spent on GSR or additional quals? tell me please.

For your information, i'm currently working alongside a plumber to gain as much experience as possible on my weekends, for free so that when I am a civvy plumber I will be doing my work to a high standard. will be a fully insured sole trader. Not a chancer at all.

I got my quals through trade training RE am I supposed to apologise to sweats like you because of that?

I know a few plumbers who gladly help me out when I have any questions as they want to pass their advice on to someone who is willing to learn. You are obviously a bitter, miserable old, resentful git. :D

Don't judge someone when you know nothing.

Go fcuk yourself 'CNUT' *thumbs up*

That's a bunch of independant GSR engineers, they have a website/ forum that might be of assistance.........

Although as O2 says, things are really bloody dire out here even for people who have been at it for a long time, and have a decent base of customers.

Unless it's a dire emergency they aren't spending..... best of luck though.
