Harks back to an earlier discussion about trade registration, but if the powers to be give out certificates as if M & M 's then we as a responsible trade we have no chance.

2079 is a load of old cobblers imo, a 1 day course that consists of a gas handling test a brazing test and a multiple choice 'exam', if you fail come and sit it again until you pass.
most cowboys in the game can braze and add gas to a system, and also have a stab at a 1 in 4 question, surely a proper qualification would include some sort of fault diagnosis or at the very least something you cant just pick up on the day and pass with. 3 yrs i went to college to learn this game, some pipefitter gets a job, passes a one day course and now in the eyes of the law hes just as qualified as me.

aye right

Why do people assume 2079 is a qualification?

2079 is not a qualification. It is a test that ensures you carry out proper procedures when charging or removing gas.

If you want to be a qualified frigie then do an NVQ.

In future there could be a law that states that you must have a NVQ if you want trade protection and Licensing
