Overview
Able Skills has devised a training and assessment programme primarily aimed at those of you who are looking to move into the Commercial gas industry from Domestic, those of you who already hold CCN1 – Domestic Core Gas Safety. Although this course is ideally aimed at existing domestic gas engineers requiring a changeover to commercial gas, it is equally appropriate for those of you who have held commercial core gas before and are looking to renew but feel that refresher training is required. If you fall within this category, COCN1 will replace CODNCO1

CODNCO1 - Change over Core Gas Safety - Domestic to Commercial

This gas safety change over assessment is designed for those operatives that hold core domestic gas safety (CCN1) to test their gas safety competence in Core Commercial gas work, only in areas where specific differences occur, by practical and knowledge and understanding assessment.

This gas safety assessment comprises of:-

  • Characteristics of Combustion and the Use of Flue Analysis Equipment
  • Commercial Ventilation Requirements
  • Checking and Setting Commercial Appliance Burner Pressures
  • Identification of Unsafe Situations in Commercial premises
  • The Operation of and Positioning of Emergency Isolation Controls and Valves
  • Commercial Flueing Standards
  • Re-establish Existing Gas Supply and Relight Commercial Appliances
  • The Operation and Checking of Appliance Gas Safety Devices and Controls

ICPN1 - First Fix Pipe Installations

This gas safety assessment is designed to test the gas safety competence of an operative, by practical and knowledge and understanding assessment in the first fixing of commercial installation pipework, steel, copper and polythene and fittings above 28 mm (1”) up to 150 mm (6”) bore.

Pre-requisite:
Candidates must hold a Certificate of Competence in Commercial Core Gas Safety Assessment COCN1.

TPCP1A - Testing and Direct Purging of Small Low Pressure Commercial Gas Installations

This gas safety assessment is designed to test the gas safety competence of an operative by practical and knowledge and understanding assessment in the work of testing and direct purging of pipework (or sections of pipework) downstream of a primary meter control valve having:-

  • A volume of not exceeding 1m3 including any meter and any allowance for fittings.
  • An operating pressure not exceeding 21 mbar (nominal) at the outlet of the primary meter regulator
  • A diameter not exceeding 150 mm
  • The operating pressure at the inlet of the primary meter regulator does not exceed 75 mbar

This assessment will not assess testing for soundness and direct purging outside the range listed above and it may be preferable for operatives to instead undertake category TPCP1 below.

Pre-requisite:
Candidates must hold a Certificate of Competence in Commercial Core Gas Safety Assessment COCN1.

CIGA1 - Commission, service, Repair and Breakdown of Commercial Indirect Fired Heating Appliances and Equipment

This gas safety assessment is designed to test the gas safety competence of an operative in the work of commission, service, repair and breakdown of commercial gas fired forced convection air heaters and gas fired hot water boilers of rated inputs between 60 kw and 2 mw by practical and knowledge and understanding assessment.

Pre-requisite: Candidates must hold a Certificate of Competence in the following:-

  • Commercial Core Gas Safety Assessment COCN1 and
  • Installation first fix Commercial Appliances ICAE1 or
  • Installation first fix Commercial Pipework ICPN1 (Required if pipework exceeds 28mm diameter)

CORT1 - Commission, Service, Repair and Breakdown of Commercial Overhead Luminous Radiant Plaque and Radiant Tube Heaters

This gas safety assessment is designed to test the gas safety competence of an operative in the work of commission, service, repair and breakdown of commercial overhead radiant luminous plaque heaters and type A (flueless) and type B (flued) overhead radiant tube heaters by practical and knowledge and understanding assessment.

Pre-requisite:
Candidates must hold a Certificate of Competence in the following:-

  • Commercial Core Gas Safety Assessment COCN1 and
  • Installation first fix Commercial Appliances ICAE1 or
  • Installation first fix Commercial Pipework ICPN1 (Required if pipework exceeds 28mm diameter)

CDGA1 - Commission, Service, Repair and Breakdown of Commercial direct Fired Heating Appliances and Equipment

This gas safety assessment is designed to test the gas safety competence of an operative in the work of commission, service, repair and breakdown of all direct fired forced convection commercial heating equipment with either100% fresh air supply or re-circulated air with forced draught or atmospheric burners by practical and knowledge and understanding assessment.

Pre-requisite: Candidates must hold a Certificate of Competence in the following:-

  • Commercial Core Gas Safety Assessment COCN1 and
  • Installation first fix Commercial Appliances ICAE1 or
  • Installation first fix Commercial Pipework ICPN1 (Required if pipework exceeds 28mm diameter)
Additional Info

Our Instructors and Assessors have spent many years within the gas industry undertaking both domestic and commercial work but they have also had years of experience teaching and assessing both Domestic and Commercial gas. They remain constantly up to date with all legislative and regulatory changes ensuring that their course delivery meets the standards required by the Gas industry.
