What to expect
To learn a trade allows you the opportunity to achieve a skill for life and with a shortage of Skilled Workers, Tradespeople i.e. Gas Engineers are in high demand. We offer MLP either on a full time or part time basis.
Both MLP courses consists of centre based guided learning hours and ‘on the job’ guided learning hours gained whilst under the supervision of a registered Gas Safe Installer acting as the candidate’s mentor. The candidate is required to fully complete their individual portfolio and the required learning hours for the course in order for a Training Completion Certificate to be issued.
The course starts with an introduction to Gas, Basic Plumbing, Electrics and Health & Safety. It involves a mixture of theory and practical training, assessments which are both written and practical and an individual portfolio with records of their evidence of training. With hard work, commitment and dedication from both you and us we can help you achieve the best opportunity to pass the assessments.
The Domestic MLP course is an entry route into the following Industry Sectors:-
Domestic Natural Gas - Liquid Petroleum Gas - Non-Domestic Heating - Commercial Catering
New candidates will be trained and assessed in the following areas:-
- Gas Safety Regulations
- Combustion
- Tightness testing and purging
- Ventilation
- Chimneys
- Controls
- Unsafe situation procedures
- Domestic pipework installations
- Cenwat
All complete
On completion of your Domestic MLP course your MLP portfolio will be checked and verified by our Assessors and Internal Verifiers.
Once the MLP portfolio has been approved you will be issued with your Training Completion Certificate. Once you have received your Certificate you will then progress onto the Domestic Gas CCN1 & appliances initial course which is the Gas qualification and also a pre-requisite of becoming a Gas Safe Registered Engineer.
Once you have gained the qualification you can apply to the Gas Safe Register, application to the Gas Safe Register is for yourself to either work for yourself i.e. own business or as an approved operative for a Gas Safe Registration Company. It is an annual renewal and the fees are paid direct to the Gas Safe Register.
The ACS/CCN1 Gas qualification must be renewed every 5 years and this involves a re-assessment for existing registered Gas Engineers. We offer these re-assessments at our Centre.
