Access Training's Gas Certification Centre offers structured gas engineer courses as a route into the gas industry and gas certification. Developed with Gas Safe Registration (formally CORGI registration) in mind, our Elementary Gas Certificate section of our gas engineer courses forms the natural route into the Domestic Gas industry via the Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS), which upon successful completion, with the appropriate experience leads to gas certification and can lead to Gas Safe registration. The gas engineer courses are available to everyone. Our dedicated advisors will establish, through consultation with every candidate, their previous experience, their level of practical skill and technical ability. A typical student could be someone already working as a 'mate' within the gas/plumbing related industries, or as is often the case, someone looking for a career change without any previous experience. Rest assured, we guarantee that all our students are capable of completing one of our gas engineer courses which in no doubt contributes to our exceptional gas certification pass rates. Specialist gas engineer courses take part at one of our Gas Certification Training Centres. Very little Home Study is required, however some background reading is required that corresponds with modules of Onsite Specialist Training of the gas engineer courses. Rest assured you will undertake this gas certification training at a pace to suit both your ability and your current circumstances. Our qualified staff are here to answer your questions and help you on our gas engineer courses every step of the way - in person, over the phone or via email. During your gas certification training you will undergo both practical work and classroom based learning that forms the core of our gas engineer courses. A number of exams and practical assessments will be required for you to pass along with your submission of an acceptable portfolio of evidence. At Access Training we believe in providing gas engineer courses with flexibility to all our customers as every individual’s lifestyles are different. Therefore we offer part-time as well as full-time gas engineer courses where you can complete your gas certification training at a pace that suits you. Either as a fulltime intensive program or part-time attended over a longer period. Leave your details or call one of our course advisors and they’ll pass on further details about our flexible gas engineer courses. NICEIC Gas Certification forms a structured training package as an alternative to NVQ gas engineer courses as a route into the gas industry. The course is based on modules of Onsite Specialist Training at our gas certification centre, followed by the candidate working under the supervision of an existing Gas Safe registered engineer to create a portfolio of evidence on various areas of work. During collation of your practical evidence, sufficient support and guidance will be given to ensure completion as part of our gas engineer courses. Once your portfolio is complete you will receive a certificate of achievement, which allows you to go forward to undertake ACS Core Gas Safety (CCN1). We also provide the option of undertaking a managed work placement should you require it. Please call us for further details about work placements part of our gas engineer courses.

After attending one of our gas engineer courses some students also undertake the EAL Part P Domestic Installers qualification and go further with their training. If this is the case than we recommend that completing both this and gas certification as complete package ensuring that the student has practical experience as well as theoretical knowledge of electrical work. This provides students who successfully complete both courses with a good grounding and the ability to carry our domestic installations safely and within the regulations.

You may also wish to consider gaining a formal plumbing qualification by completing both the NVQ2 in plumbing together with one of the gas engineer courses. It will ensure that you as a student will have the practical experience as well as theoretical knowledge of plumbing. This provides students who successfully complete the gas certification course with a good grounding for a long and prosperous career in plumbing as well as the gas sector. However, we consider it essential that a plumbing and gas career is considered to be progressive in that every student should add more skills and qualifications as they gain experience to further their career.

Our gas engineer courses serve to provide this clear progression route, helping learners to achieve the career goals they aspire to. Successful gas certification candidates also attend some of the following courses to increase their earning potential and to meet the demands of the industry:

• Unvented Hot Water Storage Systems
• WRAS Water Regulations
• Part L Energy Efficiency
• Solar Domestic Hot Water Heating
• Part P – NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme Qualification
• Electrical Inspection and Testing – City & Guilds 2392 & 2391
