Professional Gas & Plumbing course

Access Training's certified and structured Professional Gas and Plumbing Engineer Course has been developed as the natural route into the Domestic Gas and Plumbing industries, which upon successful completion and with the appropriate experience, can lead to GasSafe registration as an Engineer. Our dedicated advisors will establish, through consultation with every candidate, their previous experience, their level of practical skill and their technical ability. A typical student could be someone already working as a 'mate' within the gas/plumbing related industries, or, as is most often the case, someone looking for a career change without any previous experience. Rest assured, we guarantee that all our students are capable of completing the course which in no doubt contributes to our exceptional pass rates. Our training courses are delivered through a combination of Home Study and Onsite Specialist Training at one of our Certified Training Centres. Home Study is completed to correspond with modules of Onsite Specialist Training that you will undertake at a pace to suit both your ability and your current circumstances. A number of exams and practical assessments will be required for you to pass along with your submission of an acceptable portfolio of evidence. To prepare you for each module of the course you will receive Tutor Support by phone and email and comprehensive study materials leading to the following modules that are taught and assessed at the Training Centre throughout the course: Health and Safety Copper pipework Heat applied to plumbing LPG Plumbing hand tools Cold water storage Domestic cold water supply Installing a hot water system Pressure in plumbing systems Properties of water Taps and valves Soil and waste plastics Installing and testing rain water gutters Installing waste traps Installing radiators Installing showers Sanitary appliances BPEC water regulations Warm air systems Central heating systems BPEC unvented hot water storage systems Testing and purging of domestic gas installations Combustion Flues and ventilation Controls for gas appliances Gas pipework Gas industry legislation Installation of domestic gas appliances Commissioning, servicing and maintenance of domestic gas appliances This structured training course is based around specially developed Modules attended at our Plumbing & Gas Training Centre, followed by the candidate working under the supervision of an existing GasSafe registered engineer to create a portfolio of evidence on various areas of work.
