Stage 1 - Training:

Able Skills Managed Learning Programme Gas Certificate

This 3 week long Gas course is essential training and assessment for all candidates looking to gain access to the Gas Industry.

Week 1

Week 1 of this Gas Training Course will provide you with a great insight into the Gas industry and present you with an understanding of the guidelines and regulations which currently govern the ACS scheme.

During this week of gas training, we will cover basic pipework skills, gas appliance functions and the basic principles of flues and combustion to give candidates the knowledge required to move forward to the next aspect of this Gas course.

At the end of this initial 5 days of gas training, you will undertake a written assessment/multiple choice exam to establish your understanding of the areas that have been covered so far.

Weeks 2 and 3

As you progress through the weeks, the gas course will develop and you will receive training in:

1. Legislation
2. Tightness Testing
3. Pipework requirements

Again, you will undertake a series of exams and practical assessments to satisfy your instructor that you fully understand all the areas covered at this stage.

Finally, we will provide you with training in:

1. Flueing
2. Ventilation
3. Unsafe situations

And with time permitting, we will provide extra training in the servicing of various appliances.

Next Steps

Once this training has been completed successfully, you will need to prove competence working under the supervision of a Gas Safe registered Engineer. You will be required to complete a portfolio (provided by Able Skills) detailing the various jobs you have undertaken, supported by photographic evidence and signed by your Gas Safe registered Engineer.
