NIC Virtual PIR Course..worth it???

[ohlins]

Hello,
Just seeing what you guys think really.Has anyone done this im considering it,been waiting for them too get back for months now re cost and dates etc.They seem bit cagey on phone and the guy who rang me said it may be the last one they run.Its a four dayer at a cost of 499+vat and obviousley loss of earnings so expensive.As a domestic installer i cannot buy nic pir certs without it but can see no reason i cant use generic ones.I am time served and have many years experience with testing but do you think a nic cert/advertising would bring in more work.Would be glad too hear what you all think?
Thanks

thanks guy im a dom installer and can see no reason why i cannot carry out periodics using any one of a number of generic pir certs.Im experienced enough and competant.Just wondering if i take the course and instigate a local ad campaign as nic pir approved would it or has it increased your work in this field?

well it is hit or miss, i spoke to niceic registerd spark the other day and even advertises in local rag just to keep his name out there, even tho he said it ---- at mo, but for 5 quid
