I've always wanted to have that, just in case. I've searched on three occasions for the courses and got no where.
why you need a qual for changing a meter i don't know, doesn't get much easier does it?
I thinks its more of an accreditation. Just something that says we have given you permission to break the seal.
There are companies that have it so all employees are covered via the company. Like PH Jones, or maybe Canaught.
In all fairness I have only ever fitted 1 x CT meter.
Please if anyone gets a heads up of where to go give me a shout. There is so much work right now fitting these smart metres. I want in..lol
I spoke to Western Power today. They said they offer training at £220 + vat per day for 4 days.
Normally they said an employer sends employees to them for the meter training. You get trained in whole current meters single and 3 phase.
Its unusal for an individual to be asking for training. they said you should normally be emoployed by a company.
Here is the question. To Davie and anyone else already in the game
How do you get with companies like Meter Tec or BGlobal Plc. Or anyone else. They say you must have a permit to operate. There is no such thing. Mocopa Is an accreditation for signitories, like Bglobal, EDF, Western Power.........
You cant gain experience because you cant get in to start with.
Davie how did you become a contractor with any off these guys. Spread your system of who trained you, who payed for it. Who you work for now.
I still am none the wiser.
Cheers
