Gas Managed Learning Programme

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 £4,500 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.

You’ll have the chance to work and mingle with qualified engineers as a part of your gas training course, so you can network for the future and learn from the best, all while building your portfolio of work.

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.

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!
