Official Statement from the Health and Safety Executive
“We have had reports that some ACS assessment centres have closed due to COVID-19, resulting in engineers being unable to take their ACS reassessment.Engineers are expected to take all reasonable measures to maintain their ACS qualifications, including planning ahead where possible.
Maintaining gas safety competence is essential for registered gas engineers. If assessment centres have enough staff and customers to keep functioning, they should do so and follow Gov.uk advice on good hygiene and encouraging engineers not to attend if they should be self-isolating.
If engineers take all reasonable steps to update their expired ACS certification as soon as possible, and continue to work safely, HSE will permit registered gas engineers to remain on the Register for an additional period during the peak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) measures. Engineers may be required to demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to renew their qualifications. Engineers MUST maintain their Gas Safe registration during any extension of their ACS qualification period if they are carrying out gas work.
This is a temporary measure and does not remove the standing requirement for registered gas engineers to maintain their ACS certification and renew certification every 5 years.”

- We have increased our daily cleaning routine.
- We have all the necessary hand gels and washroom facilities you require.
- We recommend you bring your own drinking vessel for tea and coffee etc. We will continue to supply our own if you prefer which are sanitised during the day and heat treated overnight.
What’s important is that we all work together through this unprecedented time and fight the COVID 19 spread. We at Gastec Training will remain open and will be conducting business as usual until we are told otherwise.
