Category 2 Applicant

New entrant into the industry

No previous experience

RF Training has developed a unique Fast Track Gas Installers training programme that allows new entrants to the gas industry to ultimately achieve their gas qulifications in the fastest possible time.

STEP ONE

RF Training has designed a bespoke 6-week plumbing & gas training course that incorporates the BPEC Gas Foundation. This programme ensures that you obtain essential plumbing and central heating installation skills as part of the training course. You will learn all practical and legislative aspects of gas supply and installation.

STEP TWO

Build your on-site portfolio with the assistance of a Gas Safe Registered engineer. This is a legal requirement as part of your training. If you do not know a Gas Safe Installer that will help you build your portfolio then RF Training will ensure you get a placement.

STEP THREE

Upon successful completion of your on-site gas portfolio return to the training centre. You will complete your initial ACS Training & Assessment. ACS is the Accredited Certification Scheme – these are your Gas Qualifications. You will undertake your core gas safety (CCN1) and 4 domestic elements (Central Heating, Cookers, Fires and Water Heaters). Individual gas appliances are categorised – you cannot work on an appliance unless you hold the correct certificate.

STEP FOUR

Apply to Gas Safe for registration in your own right or you may work under an employer’s registration by holding the correct ACS qualifications.
