The Core Domestic Natural Gas and Appliances ACS (Initial) course is intended for professionals looking to renew their accreditation after having let their current accreditation expire for longer than 10 months. Have you considered upskilling yet? There are several other appliances beside the CCN1 with which you can expand your field of expertise and potentially increase your annual income:

  • CENWAT – Central Heating Boilers & Water Heaters
  • CKR1 – Cookers
  • HTR1 – Space Heaters (Including Gas Fires And Wall Heaters)

This course is made up of both theory-based sessions as well as practical sessions in our workshop, taught by our exceptional and experienced trainers. By the end of the course you will not only be up to date with the latest changes in the industry, but also confident and competent in Core Domestic Gas Safety. We will make sure you are well prepared and setup for success for your assessment. All course materials required will be handed out to you in the beginning of the course.
