Lots of engineers are very nervous going back to training/assessment, after all we’re not the guys who did GCSE, A level and degree courses. Some assessment centres are very structured and rigid, which I found makes for poor transfer of knowledge. The ones where the tutors are more friendly and relaxed help settle guys who then tend to learn more. I’ve seen good engineers go to pieces because of the tutors attitude, some seem to revel in their power over people. Everyone loses in that scenario...............
There was one guy at my college in Birmingham but all the other assessors were sound af. The one guy would try and trick you and then rip you apart on it. Massive cock

As others have said Derek, don’t let the minority spoil it for the majority, I’m currently doing my portfolio and when I pass my ACS hopefully later this year I will have you to thank. I watch your videos over and over again and always pick up little snippets of information that I didn’t know, i would not be at the level I’m at if it wasn’t for you. Thank you Derek, your time and effort is appreciated, Kevin Jacob, london
You take the time and effort to make these videos, I can’t understand why anyone would not support what you’re doing. Don’t let the minority spoil it for the majority who find these videos helpful and entertaining, keep it up, a lot of people and the industry will be worse off if you don’t continue. I look forward to the next one.
Honestly don't understand people. You've taken the time and effort for the sake of other people to learn. Just don't know how people cant appreciate that. Derek keep them coming mate you've helped me more than anyone else on TH-cam with these quizzes. Much appreciated by me and a lot other " normal " people
I for one, am interested. I passed my reassessment today with the help of your videos over the last fortnight. I was my usual bag of nerves but during assessment a few thing that I’d watched cropped up. So, many thanks for the effort you are putting in and the help you have given me. Clear and concise. Many thanks.
Thanks for posting these questions to keep our grey matter ticking over during these strange times Derek. Keep up the GREAT WORK your doing sir and IGNORE the haters.. Unfortunately some individuals find it easier to moan about things that actually challenges them to use the brain cells🤯
Tomkat video are the best for training and keeps you learning. I The people who criticize are the only jealous of Tom's knowledge and know how. Tom' you're doing a excellent job. Keep them coming.
Definitely keep these going, i reckon more people are interested than you think. Don't let a select few put you off. You clearly put time and effort into these videos. We now answer these as a family....me who should know all the answers but doesn't, my son who is an apprentice and REALLY should know all the answers and my wife who has no gas knowledge at all 😂😂😂
Derek, I came across your vids a few weeks ago, very informative, interesting and easy to follow compared to others. I got my ACS coming up soon so these are helping out a lot with the studying during this Lockdown. Keep it up mate, trust me you ARE appreciated. 🙏 👍
Why the negativity🤷🏻♂️ these are great vids. I’m just under 3 years qualified and find them great (even though you are on the wrong side of the Pennines) for keeping on top of your knowledge. Keep up the great work pal
No one likes to realise they know less that they think they should, especially with their job - and the gas profession makes everyone "touchy" IMHO. However, you challenging us operatives is great. If we can firstly accept that we may not be perfect then by making use of your contribution here, we can continue our professional development and aspire to greater knowledge. So I vote you keep up the good work. A hearty thankyou from me 👋😀 Oh bother, I've run out of room to give you my results... 🤐
I would like to say that you I stated my gas course 5 weeks ago and I study on my own time watching all your video I am really thankful for what you doing. Thanks so much for uploading your video Big time
Great videos Derek. You've got me worried now though. I'm up for my acs reassessment and if I should know all those questions without a book, I'm in sh1t street!. Thank you for putting them up.
I agree with The Madhatter. As someone in the process of being reassessed I find them really helpful & I should imagine to a new entrant to the industry they would be invaluable.
Ignore the haters Derek, it's a great format for everyone experienced or otherwise and should be embraced during lockdown. B C A A A C C B B A Question 10 I wasn't sure if it was referring to working pressure drop or tightness test drop (guessing the former as you didn't specify the pipe size/meter). Have a nice weekend mate Hussain
Great video thank you, just wondering is there a list of British standards number that would be useful to try and memorise? You quote them in your videos and so wondered if it’s useful to try and remember them?
I swear question 4 is A? For a digital/electronic manometer I was told in my text books and exams it’s 0.20? However for a water gauge it’s 0.25? In regards to rise? Please can someone confirm/advise?
Think about it the question was to 2 decimal points. If a u gauge is 0.25 why would a digital one be 0-20 if it was to 1 decimal point then it would be 0.2
@@tomkatgastraining thank you for clearing that up! I got that mixed up with a permissible increase on a Let By Test using a digital manometer… sometimes I get confused with the way the question is phrased and think too much into it… can I confirm the permissible rise for a let by test is 0.20 using an electronic manometer?
never used a digital gauge before had no idea until i looked it up.I was told you should always have a u gauge to double check so i never saw the point in using one
@@tomkatgastraining Im confused as what you mean when saying "how do You know the U gauge is correct?" What could make it incorrect apart from hose integrity?
@@lazylady81 not levelling or zeroing correctly and not reading it correctly I see guys in assessment with 20 years experience not read a u gauge correctly
My son had his a couple of months ago he was asked about tightness testing purging, gas rating and safety questions and of course ventilation make sure you know about flueless space heater ventilation.
Tomcat is the dogs whatdoyoucallems. Think question 5 was posed by the same quizmaster who asked . .if it takes one man a week to walk a fortnight..how many apple's in a barrel of grapes.
I know your comment is 2 months old and the question relates to working pressure and not tightness testing, but metre type when testing installation pipework is irrelevant as you should have zero pressure drop. It's only when appliances are connected that you are allowed your permissable drops.
That would make it too easy for trainees the idea is you find the answers in the training manual and then check the answers on the next video. Thanks for watching cheers

They are listed in most training manuals so no need to memorise
Amazing thank you!
How hard is it to become a gas engineer I will start my portfolio soon
great vids Derek,take no notice of idiots
If you want to learn about gas station and gas pressure is how can I found you just to learn online courses

It's really really long to find the answers now because there's no link to the video anywhere.
There should be a link
Keep it up dont let the idiots spoil it
Plz put the answer at the end of the video , it will help someone that studies acs
The answers are in the comments section and video description
Iv got gas inspection on the phone do u know wat type of quistion they will ask..
My son had his a couple of months ago he was asked about tightness testing purging, gas rating and safety questions and of course ventilation make sure you know about flueless space heater ventilation.
10 nice questions, however i need to check question 10 I thought that was zero
Can anyone share the link to the answers? The are billions of videos in the channel, I can't find them!

Tomcat is the dogs whatdoyoucallems. Think question 5 was posed by the same quizmaster who asked . .if it takes one man a week to walk a fortnight..how many apple's in a barrel of grapes.
question 10 should mention what kind of meter is installed. with a E6 it is 8mb
No it shouldn’t because it’s taking about pressure drop between the meter and appliances not pressure loss on a tightness test
@@tomkatgastraining my apologies you are right and i am wrong
I know your comment is 2 months old and the question relates to working pressure and not tightness testing, but metre type when testing installation pipework is irrelevant as you should have zero pressure drop. It's only when appliances are connected that you are allowed your permissable drops.
@@craigwatson7692 exactly if no appliances are connected then no drop is allowed on the pipe work

Q5. Really? Every gas engineer should know.
Yeh, most ppl l doubt know the gas reg. Blahxxxx number
Q10 should be zero surely, no appliances mentioned?
