FAQs
CDGA1 is a recognised ACS (Accredited Certification Scheme) module for experienced gas engineers who want to commission, service, repair, and maintain commercial direct fired gas appliances. These appliances are typically used in large spaces, such as greenhouses or warehouses, where combustion products are released directly into the heated area rather than vented externally. The qualification is essential for engineers working on this specific type of commercial heating equipment and is often required as part of a broader commercial gas safety package.
CDGA1 is a key component for any engineer working with direct fired gas appliances in commercial environments. It ensures compliance with UK gas safety regulations, enhances employability, and is often a prerequisite for working on specific commercial projects. Regular reassessment keeps engineers up-to-date with evolving industry standards and safety protocols.
CDGA1 and other ACS modules must be renewed every five years. Renewal involves reassessment, which covers both theory and practical skills. Only ACS codes held on previous certificates can be renewed directly; adding new modules may require additional training and assessment in line with the latest Gas Safe.
To renew your qualification, you will need to retake this course.
Yes, but only if you can provide valid, recent certificates for CIGA and CORT modules. Otherwise, CDGA1 must be taken as part of a package with these modules. This ensures all essential competencies are covered for safe and compliant commercial gas work.
Holding CDGA1 allows engineers to work on a wider range of commercial heating systems, including those in large-scale industrial and agricultural settings. This can lead to roles in facilities management, commercial installation and maintenance, and specialist contractor positions, all of which are in high demand across the UK.
