Our Gas Training Programmes have recently been adjusted due to new regulations set by the IGEM in the Gas Training Industry. The gas programmes we run are extremely popular and we have people coming from all over the UK to train with us.

Having been audited by BPEC, Able Skills has recently adjusted the duration of the courses that we offer. For new entrants without gas or plumbing backgrounds and qualifications, the course will be structured over 35 days (7 weeks) – with some additional home study elements. For those with provable plumbing backgrounds, the course will be structured over 25 days (5 weeks), again with elements of home study.

Here at Able Skills we are quite happy with these changes as they will improve the quality of training available across the UK and will therefore provide a much higher calibre of students. We believe the standard of training has gone up another level in the whole gas industry to make it safer and produce higher quality Gas Engineers.

We currently have two gas courses ongoing in our centre, both a New Entrants package and Qualified Plumber package. These students are enjoying their training and working hard to get the skills and knowledge they need to push themselves to the next level.

Here is a few of the Qualified Plumbers group working in one of our many gas centres. They are all carrying out various testing and installation work on boilers and water heaters. Watch here: https://youtu.be/X7qMm22BZ8g
