Gas bays for students to gain practical experience in their own space.
This 7-week package of learning will include:
- Training on aspects of health and safety-relevant within the gas industry, including asbestos awareness
- Training to work safely around electrical systems
- Training in the use of copper and low carbon steel so that your pipe skills are established at an acceptable standard.
- Training on heating controls, Airing cupboard and radiator installation practices
- Training in all areas of domestic gas safety
Part of the process for new entrants looking to access the gas industry is to work under the supervision of a Gas Safe registered Engineer to build a portfolio of competence. This is a requirement for all new entrants to the industry so that your competence in real-life situations can be verified. Finally ACS assessment which is basically a health & safety test to make sure that you can carry out tasks not only correctly but also efficiently and safely!

Now...Obviously before you start working you will need to register with the Gas Safe Register, this is a legal requirement for anybody looking to install, remove and or alter a gas appliance. This is strictly for the health and safety of both the engineer and the public! If you are caught carrying out any kind of work involving Gas you will be fined and overall it will cost you more than if you were registered...
How do I become Gas Safe Registered?
Before applying you must have the relevant qualifications, experience and evidence. Currently, they only accept a few qualifications including; National Vocational Qualification, Accredited Certification Scheme and Scottish Vocational Qualification. Here at Able Skills, we offer courses such as our New Entrant Gas Training Package 2 that includes core domestic gas safety. This ACS will need to be completed before you are eligible for Gas Safe registration and this is a requirement for all operatives involved in the installation, maintenance and servicing of domestic gas appliances and pipe-work installations. Also, every Gas Safe registered business renews their registration on an annual basis and updates their qualifications every 5 years, meaning you will need to refresh your memory on gas safety every 5-years!
