They only offer the training courses, if they think you are going to repair and install their boilers, if they make a good impression, you know their boilers and you recommend, install and repair them - they'll be making money.

If you can't legally work on gas there's no point in them training you as what benefits will they get ? it costs them to run the courses.

Try and get through your gas assessments - it's worth it.
