Gas Courses

Whether you're a beginner or have experience in the trades industry, our gas courses can be tailored to suit you. We take you right up from initial training and portfolio building with a mentor to your ACS qualifications. We also offer ACS Gas Renewals for registered gas engineers.

Options Skills offers a domestic gas course that incorporates foundation training and assessments and ACS assessments, both initial and renewal. All certified by LCL Awards. You can undertake one of our gas courses in our Birmingham, London or Manchester training centres.

Our gas courses are aimed at beginner with very little, or no experience. However, training options can be tailored for experienced gas installers looking to obtain new qualifications, or learn further skills.

Stage 1: Centre Led Training

Step one of the gas course is a mixture of practical and theoretical learning. Initial training takes place at one of our fully equipped Training centres. Delivered in small groups over eight weeks, you will learn all the skills you need to move onto step two with confidence.

Stage 2: Portfolio Building

Trainees must then gain real-life work experience while supervised by a registered gas engineer. During this time, students will build a portfolio of work as evidence of the work undertake and skills learned during this step. At Options Skills, we can guarantee to find you a placement to help you build your on-site portfolio. We are able to do this because our many years of industry experience means that we have an established network of experienced gas mentors – something that not many training providers can promise. The time taken to complete the portfolio will vary for each student. The minimum duration to do this is 100 days, with the maximum duration being two years.

Stage 3: ACS Qualifications

Once you have completed your portfolio, you will be invited to return to the training centre to undertake an assessment for your ACS Gas Qualifications. This includes practical, written and verbal examination. Initial ACS Assessment at Options Skills includes core gas safety, central heating and boilers, gas fires and cookers and flue gas analyser – otherwise known as the domestic suite of gas qualifications. ACS gas qualifications must be renewed every 5-years, although the process just involves reassessment for existing registered gas engineers.
