Become a Registered Gas Engineer with Access Training

Thinking about a career in gas engineering? This blog post will guide you through the process of becoming a Gas Safe registered engineer, a crucial qualification for anyone working on gas appliances and pipework in the UK.

Who should conduct the gas testing?

By law, only a Gas Safe registered engineer can carry out gas work in homes and businesses. This ensures the safety of everyone in the building, as gas appliances can be dangerous if not installed and maintained properly.

What Qualifications do I Need to Become an Authorised Gas Tester?

To become a Gas Safe registered engineer, you'll need to achieve two key qualifications:

• A core qualification in gas engineering: This involves classroom learning and practical assessments covering various aspects of gas work, like appliances, pipework, and safety procedures.
• ACS assessment: This involves demonstrating your competence in a real-world setting under the supervision of a qualified engineer.

Will I Have to Take an Exam?
