The aim of this course is to provide gas operatives with information on legislation and training in both the practical and theoretical aspects of domestic gas safety in preparation for their initial CCN1 assessments.

All operatives and heating engineers who install, commission and repair domestic gas appliances must hold the relevant qualifications for the areas of work that they carry out. Operatives are required to obtain qualifications under the Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS). The certification scheme is regulated by the United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS). ACS certificates need to be renewed every five years.

Our ACS Core Domestic Gas Safety course consists of full training and will provide candidates with relevant up to date knowledge prior to completion of their assessments. You can only legally work on gas installations in the UK if you hold Gas Safe Registration. To qualify for Gas Safe Registration, you must hold a valid ACS gas qualification.

The Appliance Courses

After completing Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) candidates are eligible to take any of the following courses which can include both practical and written training if required as courses are tailored to suit individual requirements:

Central Heating Boilers/Water Heating Appliances (CENWAT1)

Are you eligible?

If you have completed a relevant qualification (Gas Foundation or *Cat 2 Training Programme) then this course will give you the relevant training & assessments to allow for certification enabling you to work legally on Domestic Gas Appliances. CCN1 is a pre-requisite for all appliance assessments.

* If you are unsure of what the Cat 2 Training Programme entails, our assessors will gladly assist with your questions.

CCNI Re-assessment?

The CCN1 re-assessment course is for gas installers who need to renew their domestic ACS qualifications.

In order to undertake re-assessment, operatives must complete the course no more than 12 months after the expiry date of their existing qualifications.

The CCN1 re-assessment can be completed up to six months before this expiry date.

Gas installers who have held the qualifications previously but have let them lapse by more than 12 month, must undertake Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) training and initial assessment course.

Candidates who have never held CCN1 but have transferable skills and experience may be eligible for the  Approved Prior Learning program

Installers may only undertake gas appliance re-assessment in modules which they have previously been certificated under the ACS scheme
