During the Covid-19 pandemic many regulatory bodies have provided extensions for engineer\u2019s subscriptions enabling work to still be carried out legally. The Gas Safe Register have provided guidance on the extensions permitted, stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEngineers whose ACS qualifications expire before 1st of October 2020, and who have been unable to book an ACS reassessment have been permitted to remain on the Register for up to six months from the expiry date on their ACS certificate while they arrange for a reassessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engineers with ACS qualifications that expire on or after the 1st of October 2020 will need to renew their qualifications by the 31st of March. Engineers with ACS qualificationsexpiring after the 31st of March 2021 will be required to renew ACS by the qualification expiry date as shown on the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All engineers need to ensure they are conscious to remain a reassessment candidate as opposed to initial. As soon as an ACS qualification expires over a 12-month period the candidate then under the scheme rules is to be assessed as an initial candidate. Therefore, the assessments required are lengthier in addition to a higher quantity of theory assessments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
