Course programme

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of the induction training, the operative is required to spend a sufficient amount of time working under the supervision of a CORGI-registered installer. The duration of the on-the-job training and the compilation of the portfolio will be determined by the type and frequency of gas work undertaken. The portfolio of evidence must demonstrate that the operative has undertaken work over the range of domestic appliance types

We will require evidence of the CORGI registration of the supervising engineer.

Upon the successful completion of the portfolio and its subsequent approval by NICEIC /Training, the operatives will be issued with a certificate of achievement by NICEIC Certification which will allow the operative entry into the Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS).

In August 2003, the Health & Safety Executive made changes to the category of entrants that are acceptable for CORGI registration. In brief, the changes made it a requirement that to access the ACS competency route, a candidate had to have previous gas experience.

However, the changes did introduce an alternative method for entry into the gas industry via a recognised training course.

Until this time, the NVQ was the only way for a new entrant to work in the gas industry. NICEIC Certification has developed a training package as an alternative route that takes considerably less time than an NVQ. CORGI has accepted the training package as a route to ACS and once successfully completed, can lead to becoming a CORGI-registered engineer.

The course consists of 4 weeks training at one of our centres followed by the candidate working under the supervision of an existing CORGI-registered engineer/company to create a portfolio of evidence covering various areas of gas-related work. The candidate is given support and guidance during the process of collecting and collating information to ensure that the evidence is both sufficient in quantity and varied in content.
