The Elementary Gas Certificate (EGC) is an approved structured Managed Learning Programme (MLP), accredited by NICEIC Certification, for persons wishing to pursue a career in the gas industry. It is specifically suitable for individuals who have related qualifications and skills from an engineering/trade background wishing a change in career.
It is designed to deliver a credible learning experience built around industry guidelines detailed in the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers document IGEM/IG/1 “Standards of Training in Gas Work”.
Successful completion of the full training programme, along with sufficient “on the job” training and experience, will entitle the learner to be presented for assessment under the Nationally Accredited Certification Scheme for Individual Gas Fitting Operatives (ACS). Only by proving competence under ACS will the learner be eligible to apply for Gas Safe registration, a legal requirement for anyone working on gas in the UK, Isle of Man and Guernsey.
Includes both “off the job” theoretical and practical subjects performed within the controlled environment of an approved training centre with further “on the job” practical activities gained through a work placement under the direct supervision of a competent engineer employed by a business.
The competent engineer and company must be Gas Safe Registered if working within the scope of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
A ‘portfolio of evidence’ must also be constructed to record the extent of “on the job” training received, and level of experience gained.
The overall duration of “off the job” and “on the job” training will be dependant on what MLP you chose, and type/frequency of gas work undertaken.
Portfolio of work evidence must be completed during course.
Part 1 MUST be completed before commencing Part 2.
On completion of each part you will be issued with an NICEIC Certificate. Only on completion of both parts will you be eligible for entry into the gas ACS certification scheme.
Portfolio of work evidence must be completed during each course.
Portfolio of work evidence must be completed during course.
