The IGQ (Initial Gas Qualification) gas safety course requires entrants to undertake at least 280 Guided Learning Hours of ‘off job’ study and to shadow a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to complete a portfolio of evidence and gain direct experience.

If you already have natural gas experience but want to expand your knowledge to encompass liquid petroleum gas (LPG), our LPG course covers the difference between the two fuel gases, including installation, servicing and repairs. The LPG gas safety course can include any or all of the following:


  • Permanent dwellings
  • Residential park homes
  • Leisure accommodation vehicles
  • Boats

Natural Gas Domestic Refresher Training:

Do you need to renew your domestic ACS accreditation? You must hold or have previously held an ACS in domestic natural gas in order to re-assess your qualification.

Domestic Natural Gas Safety Course:

If you are already an experienced and qualified gas engineer but want to increase your skills, this series of assessments is designed to do just that. 

Domestic LPG Gas Safety Course:

Do you want to specialise in LPG? Predominantly for gas engineers working in the leisure industry, this gas safety course is designed for those who carry out installation and maintenance work on domestic LPG appliances and pipework.
