The National Accredited Certification Scheme (ACS) is the industry recognised route for gas engineers to gain a certificate of competence required to become a member of the Gas Safe Register. These courses are available from your local ACS centre, such as Gas Training & Assessment Ltd.


ACS Training Courses

Course Dates

Course length | 26 weeks

Overseen by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), ACS covers all areas of gas work, including:


  • Domestic natural gas
  • Liquid petroleum gas (LPG)
  • Commercial heating
  • Commercial catering
  • Commercial laundry
  • Meter installation


Every person who wants to become a gas engineer must complete a core gas safety assessment before undertaking any individual appliance assessment. Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) is compulsory and includes combustion performance analysis (CPA1).


Once you have completed your CCN1, the appliance assessment relevant to your work can be taken. This may be one or more of the following:


  • Central heating boilers & water boilers (CENWAT)
  • Gas fires (HTR1)
  • Cookers (CKR1)
  • Meters (MET1)
  • Ducted air heaters (DAH1)


What do I need to join the Gas Safe Register?

The Gas Safe Register is the official list of gas engineers who are qualified to legally work on gas appliances and equipment. In order to join the Register you must have achieved all relevant ACS certificates in the areas you want to work in. 


You are able to apply once you have received your certificate of competence from your local ACS centre. You will be required to complete a probationary period of three months if you are newly qualified or have let your registration lapse. During this period you will need to keep a record of all work, which the Gas Safe Register will inspect. You will also be required to notify them when it comes to certain tasks, such as the installation of an appliance.

Hydrogen requirements

  • CCN1 (core gas safety)
  • CENWAT (boilers and water heaters)
  • CKR1 (cookers)
