Hi bongoman75,

ive been doing refrigeration for 14 years got a goverment trade certificate

What is a government trade certificate?

[bongoman75]

its what we get in south africa for passing the govement trade test a 3 day gruelling test 90% is what will get you youre trade certificate..i know its changed now and they made it much easier to pass now and thus not as many good engineers coming out of apprenticships..
