British Gas sparky test

[wacko]

I've got a trip to BG assessment centre next week. Anybody done rhe tests and willing to tell a fellow what to expect?

 

[james the spark]

i did it about six months ago just simple calculations and reading out the book and general questions on regs

 

[TaffyDuck]

Is this to become one of the illustrious BG sparkies who I spend my time going around after calming little old ladies who have been told that their house is going to blow up because their gas bond is in 6mm not 10mm?

 

[Geordie Spark]

It's a piece of pi$$ ........... all you need to learn is how to plug in one of those Martindale plug tops with the 3 little lights in it then keep a straight face while you tell little old ladies they need a rewire - and so does their house.

 

[bigbaddave]

If one of the questions is how do you test for ZS then socket and see plug in tester.

And if there is no RCD deem the complete install dangerous and tell them to get it sorted imediatly. Had this yesterday after someone had there boiler installed by BG

Cheers jthes. On phone so can't give a thanks at the mo.

Yeah this is BG spark job. Decent money and, after seeing the ad on the telly, the workers all look pretty happy!!!

Must admit that reading between the lines on first test, a bit of selling is implied. Not too keen on that.

Well, if the workers on the telly ad all look happy then how can you go wrong?

 

[telectrix]

[Elmer BeFuddled]

And practice your mechanics sucking in of air and tutting

But G'Luck!!!

From what I understand the main two criteria are; an ability to wave a volt stick about, and an inability to contemplate any figure below £1,200:00.

Just now, I would be happy to have a car that starts up & can get off my drive.

My old Mazda 626 and even older Toyota MR2 have both got knackered batteries and neither of them will start.

That said, I don't really want to be driving about in this weather anyway.

It's been snowing again and the roads are black ice. I am glad to be home, though our estate is like Moscow still. :angry_smile:
