Method Of Course Delivery

Your gas engineer course will be delivered using a blend of practical experience and theoretical teaching, to create a well-rounded learning process that will prepare you for your new career.

You’ll do six weeks of on-site training with us at our training centre, before selecting a time to complete some final modules whenever suits you best. After this, you’ll be paired with a qualified gas engineer and taken out for on-site experience for roughly 18 weeks, where you’ll undertake a minimum of four boiler installations and four boiler services or until your mentor determines that you’re competent enough in the required skills. Your Gas-Safe qualification can only be delivered after a minimum training period of six months.

You’ll receive frequent feedback throughout your gas safe engineer training, before having your training signed off and registering for your initial ACS Assessment. With this completed, you can then register with Gas Safe, and get your hands on your gas licence and card within the following two weeks.

Evening Gas Course

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.

Becoming a Gas Engineer if You’re New to the Industry

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!
