Able Skills Bradford - 3 Week Gas Training (Domestic Gas Safety Course) for New Entrants

New Entrant (Category 3) Candidates are:

• those of you who are brand new to the industry and
• those of you do not hold the relevant gas trade associated qualifications, even if you have been working within the Gas industry

Guidance for New Entrants

After years of successful Gas course delivery in the South of England, Able Skills has now teamed up with Vokèra to open a Gas Training Centre in the North of England, in Bradford.

We have devised a comprehensive 3 weeks of Gas training for those of you who are looking to gain access to the Gas industry. This training will be your introduction to the requirements of the Gas industry and from there you can decide how you would like to progress.

Long gone are the days where the Gas industry was inaccessible unless you spent 3 - 5 years at College. Managed learning programmes have now been put into place and are ideally suited to career changers as any time away from your existing job is minimal.

These are fast track training programmes but it doesn't make them any less comprehensive than 3 years at College, in fact they are probably more comprehensive because the learning time is so condensed.

Able Skills Bradford Managed Learning Programme will give you an insight into the Gas industry and will provide you with the knowledge required to move forward when you are ready to.

New Entrant 3 Week Gas Training - Domestic Gas Safety Course

For new entrants to the gas industry, Able Skills provides a comprehensive managed learning programme which covers all aspects of domestic gas work and gas safety which will prepare you for working on various gas appliances.

We highly recommend that you consider undertaking our 5 day pipeskills course ahead of this 3 week gas programme if you are not familiar in working with copper and steel pipe. This will benefit you no end, especially as the first 2 days of the 3 week gas course assesses your pipeskills competence.

This new entrant's gas training course is a real mix of workshop and classroom study to ensure that all aspects of domestic gas and related appliances are covered.

Progress is monitored with regular practical and written assessments and all evidence is recorded and retained for any Governing body to view at any time; these strict control methods safeguard all candidates and assessors and ensure that accurate, quality Gas training is delivered.

Training to achieve Able Skills Managed Learning Programme Gas Certificate is recommended to ensure knowledge of changes to legislation, British Standards and industry best practice. If you come under the category of New Entrant, this is the correct and recognised route to take to get you started.

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

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.
