The videos we direct you to  work extremely well along with the BPEC Manual which can be purchased from us or if you already have one that's perfect. We haven't had any guys fail using this system in the last three years, we believe as a Gas engineer working daily on the tools you don't need retraining prior to reassessment but self directed revision which you don't need to pay silly money for.
