When considering a new career the first step should be an assessment of your training needs - Will an Employer offer it 'on the job', or do you need to plan your own training first? If you are considering a career in the utilities industry then there are a wide range of training courses and training providers available to you. Before you decide which Training Provider to go with, please take time to check out if they are really going to provide you with the full requirements and qualifications you will need for the chosen area of work; be it the Gas, Electrical and Oil routes.

The following are questions you should be asking the Training Provider:

Will the qualifications at the end of this course help me seek full time employment
Are all your training staff qualified
Do you provide work placement
Are You an ELC Enhanced Learning Credit Provider
Have you any candidates who I could talk to or see any testimonials

At Gastec we can easily answer 'YES' to all the questions, we are not a 'Jack-of-all-trades', but specialise in technical training for the service leaver wishing to aspire to technical expertise within the above industries.
