I got a call from them today, my phone interview is on Monday with British Gas.
Took a couple of days to get a call after the intial online application.0 -
best of luck gavin, just have a pen and piece of paper for the interview and just be yourself, they will tell you straight away if you have been successful or not, obviously I can't tell you what they ask of you on a public forum, but the guy who interviewed me was a nice guy and helped me as much as he could, they want you to succeed so thats a bonus!Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors.

How come no one seems to have mentioned the £14.50 per FORTNIGHT charge for the network license? This does look interesting but definitely too much money to set up for me, although i would enjoy it i wouldn't be able to do enough hours to earn the cash to justify the setup costs.0

There are setup costs and running costs, which I will outline in full below:
One off costs
Decent Spec Computer
Training - £90.00 (payable over 3 pay cheques, not upfront!)
CRB Check - £35.28 (if you have already, its not needed)
Tel+Headset - £60.00
Total: - £185.28
Telephone installation (£30-£110) you really could get this for nothing if you can be persuasive with the company.
Ongoing costs
Livechange - £34.08 a month
PaySource Direct fee - £11.62 a month
Telephone line - £11.50
Total - £57.20 a month
So in total you will be paying £185.28 plus phone installtion for a home based business, with ongoing costs that will come in at £57.20 a month maximum, and that is to much investment? Forgive me for saying this, if you were to buy a business the above figure is a pittance. Also all those figures are tax deductible, you claim back even the VAT on them, and the best part about it is, if you do 60 hours with them they give you a £200 bonus.
So in fact it costs you nothing to setup your business, also as you are working from home, part of your mortgage/rent, your broadband, part of heating/electricity can be put on the business, plus because you are not working for a company away from home so you don't need a car, you got no expenses going back and forth, plus you don't have to buy lunch at a canteen or cafe.
Hope that explains it a bit more.Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?

would you say its possible to do the self paced modules in a week?
The girl at contractxchange said it only takes a few hours but I think she's wrong from what I have read.
The reason I ask is that I am going away for one of the weeks between tha basic training and the B.G. training.
Also when during all of this do you need your second phone line?0 -
Shame you can't book the basic training separately.0
