DEA Numbers Update - 4315 Accredited

It may be of interest (or not) but I have been accredited for nearly a year and haven't done any EPC's yet, and nor am I likely to do any at these prices. (£45).
After deductions of lodgement costs, fuel time etc etc, please don't anybody have the cheek to tell me that there is a living to be made, because THERE ISN'T.
For all those idiots out there that say "I can do 7-10 epc's a day that's £450 a day"
I say that you are either living at home with mummy and daddy,you drive their car with their fuel, you eat their food, and on top of all that they give you pocket money to get by on, or you are simply NOT doing the job correctly, and are cutting every conceivable corner to put a few more pounds in your pocket.
I originally did the training because I thought it would be a bit of an insurance policy for when I retire, to maybe do a couple a week at a £100 each , boy oh boy have I made a mistake or what ?
All I can say to anyone who is thinking of doing the training is quite simply this, DON'T. Not unless you are prepared to work for next to nothing, or if of course you have a rich partner and money isn't that important ! In finishing I'd just like to point out how stupid all DEA'S are.
A plumber, electrician, solicitor,consultant,joiner, anyone who knows their worth will TELL YOU what you owe them for doing a job. A stupid DEA will say " How much will you give me" ? An estate agent will say £45 all in, the DEA will say "Oh yea no probs" Don't forget you are a trained professional !!!!!
A women rang me last night to do an EPC on her rented flat, and guess what ? she asked me how much I would charge for doing it, I told her £100, she accepted straight away and asked when could I do it ? You know what ? I told her I was to busy and advised her to ring another DEA. I just can't be bothered anymore. It's a good thing that I have another job eh ?
Oh yes C.P.D,I think I've got 1 hours worth, so it looks as though I'm finished.
but to all you budding DEA's out there, carry on lads, there's a fortune to be made!!!!
