This 7-week package of learning will include:

When looking to start out in Gas it is important to learn at a reputable training centre. Able Skills has been a training institute for well over 10+ years and we know what we are doing, reconsidered by Bpec (BPEC is an industry-leading provider of qualifications, assessments and learning materials, working closely with a UK wide network of colleges, private training centres and industry stakeholders.) which means that we provide industry-recognised qualifications!
You will also want to find a centre such as ours which houses all of the equipment needed to learn effectively...Here at Able Skills, we provide absolutely everything you could need whilst learning the trade from; tools, materials, pipes, appliances, paperwork and much more. All you need to bring is some focuses and a pair of steel-capped boots. In addition, we have also thought about what you will come across as a working professional so we have a range of old and new appliances to accommodate for the range of, for example, boilers that you will come across on-site this is to ensure you don't come across a job that you are unfamiliar with. We aim to produce top-quality gas engineers that know what they are doing and can carry out a job correctly, effectively and safely. Remember though upon completion to carry out gas work legally in the UK you must be registered with the Gas Safe Register!
