If you have no experience, our Domestic Gas Heating Installer New Entrants Route takes you from complete beginner to Gas Safe registered and is an alternative to an apprenticeship, designed for career changers, adult learners, and those leaving school.
The route is built around two core elements. The Domestic Gas Heating Installer Course and the Gas Managed Learning Programme (MLP) – specifically the DNGA3, which together give you the practical skills, portfolio and ACS qualifications (CCN1 and CENWAT) needed to apply to the Gas Safe Register. Once qualified, you can go further:
- Upskill into additional gas appliances such as cookers, fires and warm air heaters after the mandatory 12-month period.
- Move into commercial gas or LPG as your experience grows.
- Expand into renewables, including heat pumps, as demand for low-carbon heating rises.
Already working in a related trade, such as plumbing or kitchen fitting? If you’re looking to complete your ACS and achieve your CCN1 and CENWAT, we also offer the Gas Managed Learning Programme in tailored, experienced-trades gas packages that recognise your existing experience.
