Fully qualified, highly employable

Comprehensive training providing everything you need for a successful career in Gas
Our comprehensive training programme and guaranteed work placement ensure you can get straight to work.
There is a very simple way to help people decide who to train with in the gas industry, so please heed this warning: any gas training company not offering a written guarantee of a work placement in your local area, with an immediate start, will not help you find one. Building a portfolio is a necessary requirement of the process (you can’t even sit the final assessments without one), so please avoid any company not giving you a written guarantee of a work placement allowing you to build one.

Stage 3 – High Intensity Training & ACS Assessments
Once your portfolio has been completed to a sufficient standard required by Brookhouse’s Gas Assessors, you will then be required to undertake a mandatory theoretical and practical assessment to achieve the LCL Awards Certificate of Training, which is compliant with IGEM/IG/1 (The Standards of Training in Gas Work). This certificate will enable candidates to sit the relevant ACS assessments and will be preceded by high-intensity-training to prepare candidates for the final ACS assessments.
ACS Assessments – Core Gas Safety (CCN1) including Combustion Performance Analysis (CPA1)
Plus 1 appliance from the following*:
- Gas Central Heating Boilers/Instantaneous Water Heaters (CENWAT)
