Core Domstic Gas Safety Course (Ccn1) Overview
Logic4training’s Core Domestic Natural Gas Safety (CCN1) course is a necessary requirement of the Nationally Accredited Certification Scheme for Gas Fitting Operatives (ACS). Heating engineers may choose to undertake the Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) as a standalone course if their appliance qualifications expire at a different time. Alternatively operatives may just require the CCN1 qualification if they no longer carry out practical work but wish to maintain their membership with the Gas Safe Register.
Logic4training recommends that gas installers try to align the expiry dates of their Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) and appliance qualifications, as the Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) plus appliances package course may be a more time efficient method of assessment..
The cost of this gas safety course includes training, assessment and the certification fee. CCN1training is not a mandatory prerequisite to the assessment.
Entry requirements
For heating engineers whose qualifications expired more than 12 months ago, initial training and assessment are required. For those installers whose qualifications expired less than 12 months ago, re-assessment training and associated assessment are required. Logic4training’s Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) course covers both routes.
The CCN1 course is a prerequisite to all appliance modules and assessments. Logic4training also offers a Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) plus appliances training and assessment package for initial and re-assessment routes.
Candidates who have never held this qualification but have transferable skills and experience may be eligible for the Logic4training Approved Prior Learning programme.

Membership with Gas Safe Register is a legal requirement for any operative wishing to carry out gas work in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey.
