Managed Learning Programme for Experienced Trades

Who is this gas engineer course aimed at?

This gas engineer course is aimed at those from experienced trades (for example, plumbers) who would like to begin a career as a gas engineer. To enrol on this course, you must know how to install hot and cold-water pipework and fittings competently and have 2 years experience in a related trade and/or a recognised qualification – verification and an assessment will be required before booking.

If you do not have experience in a related trade, our managed learning programme for new entrants will be a better option for you.

What is the managed learning programme?

This is a package course that has been developed by Logic Certification Limited (LCL) and is recognised by the gas industry’s Standard Setting Body (SSB.) It is a route for experienced trades to learn, develop and build a portfolio within the gas industry. Once this MLP is completed, candidates can then move on to the new entrant ACS assessment, allowing them to be on the Gas Safe Registration.

What does the MLP cover?

This gas engineer course is made up of both theoretical and practical study, allowing candidates to gain sufficient knowledge and skills to work safely within the Domestic Gas industry. The course specifically covers:

  • Introduction to plumbing, gas, and heating theory and principles.
  • Gas legislation
  • Health and Safety
  • Gas Safety (installation and use)
  • Plumbing and Gas pipework installation
  • Electrical system, controls and components
  • Chimneys

To progress to the ACS assessment, candidates must submit a portfolio of work that has been carried out under the guidance of gas safe registered engineers – there is time on the course to build this portfolio. If candidates are struggling to find a company to do a placement with to build their portfolio, Technique Learning Solutions can find you a company, enabling candidates to become qualified in quick time.
