[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 499594, member: 250"] I think the answer is in your question..... But.. IF... and its a BIG IF.. companies were crying out for the sort of candidates that would be the result from this £7000+ course... then I think you would be seeing adverts for vacancies here there & everywhere.. If I were investing that sort of money in a limited scope training course, I guess I'd have to be pretty desperate to think it worth while.... Or have bucket loads of cash floating around that I can afford to loose on a whim... I think you need to look at this like putting £7000 on the lottery... You may get decent return.. OR you may loose the lot!! (or its like training to do car mechanics just on a single manufacture, rather than generic all makes, so the skills you learn are not very transferable!) I am NOT 100% convinced that a single person changing BOTH Gas & Electric, is a thing that actually happens much... We first had smart meter fitted in 2008.. Then replaced in 2019... Both cases it was separate staff doing Gas & Electric options..... :C [/QUOTE]
