Who should take the ACS initial assessment?
Our ACS assessment programme is specifically designed for skilled gas engineers who are ready to undertake a formal assessment and register with the Gas Safe Register.
In order to pass your initial ACS gas exam and qualify as a Gas Safe engineer, you must possess a thorough understanding of gas engineering and the associated principles. If you are a novice looking to take the first step towards a new career in gas work, we recommend that you enrol onto one of Access Training’s entry-level gas training courses instead.
