Welcome to Able Skills Weekend Gas Training
Able Skills Gas Training and Assessment Centre is now open and available at weekends for those of you who have ongoing commitments through the week. The option to train or have assessments or reassessments at weekends may particularly suit existing and experienced engineers who are unable to take any time out during the week due to work commitments or similar.
If you are working within or returning to the Gas industry, Able Skills has flexible weekend training/assessment options for you to consider.
Our qualified team of gas trainers and assessors will provide guidance, support and assistance in a realistic environment to see you through your assessment process to enable you to continue to work safely and legally within the gas industry.
Able Skills can offer a wide range of training and assessment to the latest government guidelines in our purpose built workshop and training centre.
Each candidate who approaches Able Skills Gas Centre is different. Some have major training needs, some have minor training needs and some have no training needs. As such, we have broken our training and assessment costs down for you to be able to accurately calculate what your training and/or assessment costs might be.
We can cater for all requests and will happily put together a weekend training plan for you.
If you feel ready for an initial assessment or are due reassessment, please give us a call so we can help you to complete the process. In some instances we will need to see existing or expired documents and for initial CCN1 assessment, we will need to be satisfied that your portfolio of evidence meets our requirements.
Training for candidates requiring reassessment is not mandatory however, you should carefully consider all options available to you before applying for assessment only as legislation has changed and continues to do so.
