Course Information

The ACS assessment is the foundational gas training course and the entry point to becoming a qualified gas engineer.

Before undertaking the gas engineer assessment, you must hold a recognised qualification, such as GET TO GAS or NVQ, approved by the Accreditation Certification Scheme. You will also need 6 months of relevant experience and a portfolio that includes photographic evidence and witness statements.

About the Gas Training Course

The ACS assessment is a 4-5 day Blueflame certified course. Throughout the course, you will cover the following:

• CCN1 – Domestic Core Gas Safety: This qualification allows you to register with GAS SAFE and work on a variety of gas appliances.
• CPA1: Now part of the CCN1 core and reassessment criteria. If you haven't completed CPA1, your CENWAT and HTR1 modules will be invalid, preventing you from working on the related appliances.
• CENWAT: This module qualifies you to work on open-flued, room-sealed, and floor-standing models. The previous CEN and WAT1 modules have been combined into CENWAT, enabling you to work on a range of water heaters. You will learn how to adjust, service and identify faults.
• HTR1: For those working with fires—whether installing, servicing, or conducting landlord inspections—this ACS covers flueless fires, inset live fuel effect fires, and radiant fires. You will be trained to verify installations, conduct chimney tests, and ensure catalytic converters are functioning properly.
• CKR1: This qualification covers the installation, exchange, disconnection, servicing, repair, and commissioning of domestic gas cooking appliances.

Before completing the course you will need to pass both theoretical and practical assessment, to become a fully qualified gas engineer.
