A course covering all of the safety fundamentals of domestic natural gas work, aimed at preparing you for the CCN1 assessment, which is required by Gas Safe Register, for your registration with them. This course is the slightly longer option, aimed at those who may have been absent from this work for some time, wishing to work with gas or may prefer a little extra training time for any other reason. This is the first domestic natural gas ACS qualification that you must achieve before any others may be taken.

> A previous ACS CCN1 certificate, or
> An NVQ in relevant gas work, or

A 5 day intensive course. Assessment is undertaken separately, and is of 2 day duration, making 7 days, in all.
This course covers current practices in the areas of:

The subjects are wide ranging, so are mainly covered in the classroom. This is by lecturer input, written exercises, and research. There are practical tasks also, in certain areas of work.
The ACS assessment takes 2 days in addition to the training period, and is undertaken separately. It consists of multiple-choice question papers and practical tasks.
After your successful assessment, you will receive your certificate by mail. Please note that before you can undertake any unsupervised gas work, you will need to pass assessments on the appliances on which you intend to work and be Gas Safe registered. Please see those options on the list.
