Fast track gas training course details
The new entrants gas course combines classroom and practical learning, along with the completion of a portfolio on live installations. The length of time it takes to complete the programme very much depends on previous experience and your ability to stick to the training plan. We will do everything we can to make sure that you have all of the necessary support and guidance needed to gain the qualifications.
Training is broken down into manageable chunks and delivered by ex-British Gas Engineers, covering the following areas:
- Introduction to plumbing, gas and heating theory and principles
- Health and Safety including safe use of tools, asbestos, legionella awareness, manual handling and fire safety precautions
- Pipework installation and practical skills
- Gas legislation, Building Regulations and British Standards
- Industry unsafe situations procedures
- Tightness testing of domestic natural gas installations
- Measuring and interpretation of gas pressures and the calculation of heat inputs
- Gas appliance functions and the operation of gas safety controls
- Principles of flueing, chimneys and combustion
- Safe isolation of electrical installations
- ACS refresher training and assessment for Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) and Gas fired boilers and water heaters (CENWAT)
What is a portfolio?
Your portfolio forms a very important part of your certification. It involves gathering evidence of installation, repair, and servicing work in real environments under the supervision of a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Don’t worry if you haven’t got a suitable placement, we can support you with this!
