More information about this Course

Introduction
This course allows new entrants to gain access to the Gas Industry. The Managed Learning Programme is the accredited route for those who wish to train and work as a gas engineer. You will be required to source an existing qualified gas engineer who can mentor you throughout the process. On-site training and experience is key to the learning process, and works in-hand with the training you will receive during the programme. Throughout the programme you will build a portfolio of evidence covering various essential work modules. The portfolio should detail the work you have carried out on site accompanied by photographic evidence where possible.

Entry Requirements
Trainees will hold a recognised qualification in the mechanical services engineering sector (e.g. plumbing) but lack gas training and experience

Assessment and Progression
Assessments normally consist of a combination of practical and theory examinations.
The course requires 35 days in a college environment (with the schedule decided by the training provider) plus ‘on the job’ training with candidates providing work-based evidence under the supervision of a Gas Safe registered installer. On completion of the training, portfolio and successful recommendation, candidates are issued with a BPEC Gas Foundation certificate.
Upon receipt of the Gas Foundation certificate candidates can then apply to undertake the relevant ACS assessments.
