Gas Diploma Foundation Course

Pre-requisites

Category 2 trainees will hold a recognised qualification in the mechanical services engineering sector (e.g. plumbing) but lack gas training and experience, while Category 3 applicants are new to the gas industry and will need more intense training.

Further Information

Assessments normally consist of a combination of practical and theory examinations.

The course requires 40 days in our training centre, plus ‘on the job’ training with candidates providing work-based evidence under the supervision of a Gas Safe registered installer.

The course normaly takes place Tuesday and Thursday evenings 6pm to 9pm, so takes 20 weeks 

Your Gas Diploma Certificate will allow you to undertake the ACS gas assessments, providing entry at category 2.
