Industry Expertise

At Gastec, in a shorter space of time, have the expertise and ability to train all our students to a proficient level in basic gas work. This enables them to cope with a wide variety of work that gas engineers do in the domestic market place. The alternative is the day release, block release or night classes offered by colleges, all of which will take at least 3 years to acquire the knowledge required to undergo the theory and practical assessments. The classic result of the college route is a very large drop out rate of students who cannot afford or cannot cope with this type of learning.

Focus on New Entrants

Gastec was the first centre to run intermediate-level gas courses on behalf of UK Certification. Our courses have been structured to suit New Entrants  who want a new career.

We have packed a great deal of information into our courses.  As a result the courses are intensive and require a high level of personal commitment. Within the first three weeks we cover all information relating to gas safety theory, leaving week four to cover training on electrics and combination boilers. This is intensive course structure has proved very popular with our customers.

State of the Art Training Facilities

Our training centre has a wide range of appliances with numerous workstations to ensure that there is no waiting around for a task to become free.

Hands-on training is provided on combination boilers (both regular and condensing), system boilers, low water content boilers, as well as the more traditional cast iron boilers, with both room sealed and conventional flues.

In total, we have approximately 40 boilers. You will also receive training on a range of gas fires, cookers, water heaters, warm air units and meter installations.
