Managed Learning Programme: Your Path to Success

Our goal is simple: to get you off the sidelines and into a successful career as a skilled gas engineer.

We’ve built this course to be as practical as possible. You’ll spend time in the centre mastering the theory, but you’ll also get out of the classroom and into real domestic properties. This ensures that when you finish, you’re comfortable working in a real home environment, not just on a test bench.

We also focus on the parts of the job that often get missed. You’ll learn the ins and outs of being a pro tradesman, from talking to customers to making sure you leave their house exactly how you found it. You’ll leave us with the technical skills to do the job and the professional “know how” to run a successful, respected business.

Our New Entrant Gas Course

We’ve redesigned our course into four straightforward stages to make your training work for you. With our ‘pay-as-you-go’ model, you can manage the cost stage by stage instead of paying everything upfront.

Stage 1 covers the essential theory and hands on skills of your Managed Learning Programme (MLP), broken down into six manageable sessions:

Session 1 | The Fundamentals (5 Days)

Your first week is all about the “rules of the road.” You’ll learn the essential gas safety regulations, how combustion works, and how to ensure proper ventilation. This week builds the safety first mindset you’ll need for the rest of your career.

Session 2 | Pipework & Soldering (2 Days)

This is where you get hands on with the tools. You’ll master precision copper pipe bending and professional soldering. High-quality pipework is the mark of a great engineer, it needs to look good and, more importantly, be leak-free.

Session 3 | Intensive Practical Training (15 Days)

This is the core of your practical training. Over 15 days, you’ll be in our training bays practicing your applied skills. This is where you get comfortable with the tools and equipment you’ll use every day on the job.

Session 4 | Boiler Servicing & Fault Finding (5 Days)

In this session, you’ll move beyond the basics. We focus on keeping boilers running safely and efficiently. You’ll learn how to install & service boilers and use a logical approach to find and fix faults, the kind of work that separates a good engineer from a great one.

Session 5 | Assessments (5 Days)

This is your time to show what you’ve learned. You’ll complete a series of practical and written assessments to prove you have the knowledge and skills required. Passing this week confirms you are ready for your on-site portfolio and final ACS exams.

Session 6 | Portfolio (12 Days)

Note: This is an additional requirement for you to be certified for your MLP.

The final step is proving your skills in the real world. To be certified for your Managed Learning Programme, you must build a portfolio of evidence by working on live jobs under the supervision of a qualified engineer. This bridges the gap between the training centre and your new career.
