As an Institute of Gas Engineers and Managers-approved (IGEM) training centre, we at Midlands Gas & Electrical Training Centre provide outstanding gas training courses near Birmingham, for students from across the UK.
We can help kickstart your career in the gas industry, with Gas-Safe training courses designed to equip you for all manner of work, including pipework, central heating systems, water heaters, cookers and gas fires.
For thorough training, our prices start from just £4,440 (including vat) and can open the door to a world of opportunities. As well as giving you all the theoretical and practical skills you need to get started, we can also introduce you to qualified engineers as part of your gas engineer course and help you build a portfolio to demonstrate your skills to employers. You can also flex your training around your existing work.
We understand finding time to train for a new career can be challenging, which is why we offer the option to train to be a gas engineer in the evening. Our evening gas training courses run on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5-9pm, and participants will train every week for 15 weeks (30 days).
Once you’ve started your training, we’ll work with you to find times when you can drop in to fulfil your guided learning hours.
As part of our gas managed learning programme, we offer a range of other gas-related courses listed below.
Unlike many gas engineer training courses, we only offer in-person training, as we believe that online training cannot deliver the same quality of understanding that performing tasks by hand can. With our gas engineer courses, you’ll learn from and alongside experienced engineers who can help guide your learning as you go.
You’ll gain thorough, hands-on experience of how to operate as a skilled gas engineer, with training in-pipe fitting and bending, soldering, gas regulations, flues, safety concerns, gas controls, pipe sizing, purging, installation volumes, different meters, acceptable drops, fault finding, safe electrical practices, conventional heating systems, pre-cast flue blocks, brick chimneys, lined chimneys, room stat wiring, programmer wiring, and more!

The fees for the gas engineer courses at the Midlands Gas and Electrical Training Centre start from £4,440 (including VAT). This fee is for comprehensive training that aims to equip you with all the necessary skills and Gas Safe qualifications to embark on a career in the gas industry.
We offer a range of flexible options for studying if you’re unable to do our six-week onsite training. Evening gas training courses are an option as we understand that training for and changing careers can be challenging, so evening courses are held on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5-9pm over 15 weeks and some weekend courses are also available, which run every other weekend on Saturday and Sundays over six months.

The Gas-Safe qualification requires a minimum training period of six months.
