ACS Extension of Scope Course

We offer multiple ACS courses. Our accredited ACS Extension of Scope course is for existing Gas Safe Registered installers who want to expand their product knowledge and add new appliance codes, i.e. MET 1 and CKR1, to their gas ticket. If you are just needing to refresh your ACS and haven’t expired longer than 11 months, then see our ACS Reassessment. If your ACS has expired longer than 12 months you will need to take the ACS Initial Assessment. Reassessment must take place every five years in order for these qualifications to remain valid and you can take your reassessment up to 6 months prior to expiry.

The ACS Extension of Scope course covers four optional appliance codes.

CENWAT: Central Heating Boilers & Water Heaters
CKR1: Cookers
HTR1: Space Heaters (including Gas Fires and Wall Heaters)
MET1: Meters

What does ACS Extension of Scope training entail?

All our ACS training, whether initial, or reassessment, or Extension of Scope is broken down into two parts – theoretical and practical examinations.

The theory-based section is an ‘open book’ question paper; you will also have access to British Standards, IGEM Standards, Technical bulletins, and any other relevant documentation that can be used as references along with the training manual.

Practical examinations are completed in VIVA’s purpose-built ACS training bays.
