Any skilled plumber may want to broaden the scope of their own career opportunities.

Gas Safe Register - requirements for present and future gas fitters

The Council for Registered Gas Installers (CORGI) ceased to be an official gas registration body in the UK (2009). CORGI certified professionals who want to continue their work can be divided into two groups - those who are up to 5 years after their exams and those with much longer job history. The latter category engineers have to update their qualifications in the field they work in - this means full re-training, the former group is required just to apply for Gas Safe registration without following these procedures. People who want to start up a new career as a gas fitter also qualify for the comprehensive training - anyone of them has to make a choice of their specialization area, such as gas heater installer or gas boiler engineer.

BPEC Gas Foundation Training - who is it for?

As people who work in plumbing sector are quite experienced in the field of mechanics, they also would be able to prove their manual dexterity. Any fitter has to act quickly and in a precise manner - this is the main requirement for course entrants, i.e. plumbers who lack gas training and experience.

Main areas of this course are domestic gas safety and household gas appliances. The aim of the training seems similar to standard ACS course - in both cases, the training graduates are prepared for the Accredited Certification Scheme for Gas Fitting Operatives assessment.

The Gas Courses London offer is convenient for the students - the are given help in finding the suitable apprenticeship placements. Gaining the relevant professional experience in the work environment has never been that simple and easy before!
