The Future of Gas Engineering and Earning Potential

With the UK transitioning towards hydrogen boilers to reduce carbon emissions, the demand for skilled gas engineers continues to grow. By completing our course, you'll be well-positioned to capitalise on this expanding market and enjoy a fulfilling career. Gas Safe Registered Engineers can expect starting salaries ranging from £28,000 to £35,000 per year, with potential earnings increasing as you gain experience, explore self-employment opportunities, or take on directorship roles.

Certifications

Upon successful completion, students will earn certifications for the Gas Managed Learning Programme and the Gas ACS Assessment Domestic Core Gas Safety and Combustion Analysis (CCN1/CPA1) and Central Heating Boilers and Water Heaters (CENWAT).

Portfolio and Course Materials

Once the registration process is completed, learners are provided with their own portfolio, which they must progressively populate with evidence as they proceed through the course. This portfolio necessitates the collection of evidence directly related to the appliances for which learners wish to become certified. With this package's emphasis on Central Heating Boilers and Water Heaters, learners are required to gather evidence from 5 installations, 5 boiler services, and 4 boiler fault findings.

In addition to these requirements, learners must also record a minimum number of hours working on-site under the supervision of a Gas Engineer. This hands-on experience is essential for learners to understand the nuances of the industry and apply the skills they learn in a real-world context.

While some of these experiences can be obtained at the college itself, the majority will need to be acquired on-site. Throughout the course, we will continue to provide guidance and support to help learners fulfil these requirements, ensuring they have a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of their chosen field.

Additionally, students will receive the ViperGas Domestic Gas Handbook, an invaluable resource for aspiring gas engineers.
