Why Undertake The ACS Renewal?
ACS qualifications must be renewed every five years to ensure gas engineers can continue working safely and legally and remain on the Gas Safe Register. This consistency ensures the engineers stay up to date with the latest learnings in courses such as CCN1, CKR1, and HTR1 and provide a comprehensive reassessment of skills.
Before acceptance onto an ACS Renewal Course, you must provide the following documentation:
- Evidence of existing or previous gas qualifications or most recent gas safe card – you must provide the original copy of your previous ACS certificate.
- National Insurance number.
- Two recent passport-size colour photographs.
ACS Assessment takes place through written and practical examinations.
If you previously held ACS Gas Qualifications and were gas-safe, you will need to go through a renewal process. If your qualifications expired more than 12 months ago, you would need to undertake an Initial ACS Assessment. You will not be able to undertake a reassessment.
If you are a brand new entrant to the plumbing and gas industry, you will need to undertake an approved managed gas training programme such as our Domestic Gas Training before you can earn ACS Qualifications.
