ACS training and assessment is a necessary requirement of being Gas Safe Registered – all gas installers must be Gas Safe Registered by law.

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.

ACS Extension of Scope Benefits

This course is designed for qualified Gas Engineers to expand their appliance codes, expand their current training, and add new work avenues to their business. The benefit of this is you can start working on appliances you did not cover or evidence in your initial Gas Training for e.g. Cookers (CKR1), Meters (MET 1), Central Heating (CENWAT), and Heaters (HTR1).

This means

You will be able to take on a wider range of install and service jobs

You can diversify your skills and open up your work to less seasonal avenues.

You must provide your previous active ACS Certificate which shows your appliance qualification code(s) and expiry date. You must of been a qualified Gas Engineer for over 12 months before applying for HTR1, CKR1, and CENWAT. You can take the MET1 extension of scope anytime after you initial gas qualification.

Upon successfully completing the course, you will be certified in the appliance code(s) you trained in.

The updated qualification code is added to you NI number. You will need to contact Gas Safe to request a new Gas Safe card which will cost you £13.20 inc. VAT.

Great fast pace training, would recommend
Passed my ACS with Viva, great trainers put me at ease in a relaxed training atmosphere. Roy & Pete are down to earth, helpful and know there stuff. Lindsay was helpful with the paperwork/ portfolio side of the course, which also helped as paperwork isn't my forte.The company they use for placement are also good, made a few new friends and enjoyed the experience with Basi. Would recommend and I will be going back.
Did the heat pump installation course. Really good and informative. Free brews as well!
Just recently completed a fault finding course with the ever knowledgeable Roy Fugler.I honestly cannot rate this training centre and Roy highly enough!I completed my ACS training with them over two years ago and they were my number one choice when I decided to expand my knowledge around the inner workings of a boiler and how to diagnose the issues that often arise.I will have to re-sit my ACS again in a few years and there’s only one place I’ll be going. It’s VIVA all the way!
Really informative, staff are friendly and helpful, I would say there is a lot to take in but would recommend viva to any one who wants to start doing the f gas and air source , as you will have a better understanding of how systems work, thankyou viva it’s been emotional 😁👌🏽👍🏽🤩
