Home Engineers Gas ACOPS 5 day

ACOPS Gas Course - 5 Day

Where GAS-SAFE registration is not required i.e. work is only on tourers and motorhomes which are NOT hired out in the course of business, Caravan Industry Training has negotiated with the certification body UK Certification to deliver a competence based training and assessment course aimed specifically at the requirements of caravan dealers. This is an ACoP industry qualification which is assessed by an accredited ACS centre. The course lasts five days, and is usually based in a caravan workshop, with classroom tuition and practical demonstration & assessment.

This course should be seen as the minimum standard for anyone working on gas appliances where GAS-SAFE registration is not required. It can however be used as a ‘stepping stone’ to advance to the ACS training level. This ACoPs qualification is now required for membership of the Approved Workshop Scheme.

Caravan Industry Training ensures that engineers attending a CITO ACoPs training course cover the relevant sections specific to touring caravans and motorhomes. Caravan Industry Training can not guarantee other courses will provide an engineer with all the necessary minimum industry standards and therefore will be unable to verify non CITO training for an engineer’s ActivePassport.

5 Day Full Course

This is a full five day course for engineers taking their ACoPs gas competence training for the first time or who are refreshing their certificate and are unable to attend the alternative 3day Refresher Course. Engineers taking the ACoPs training for the first time must complete the five day course and are not eligible for the short course.

The course will give you:

A Certificate & ID Card proving satisfactory completion of practical and written assessments in safety and appliances for LPG in caravans/motorhomes, issued by UK Certification Ltd, and for a limited time an ActivePassport for engineers who do not currently hold one.

This course is for:

Experienced engineers working with LPG on Touring and/or Motorhomes – provided they are not hired out in the course of business. It is NOT sufficient for engineers working on Caravan Holiday Homes or Park Homes and it will not be recognised by GAS-SAFE.

The accreditation lasts for 5 years, after which re-assessment will be required.

*LATEST NEWS*

Due to increased certification costs set by the certification bodies, we have found it necessary to pass on a nominal amount for certification fees which we are no longer able to absorb as part of our not for profit status. Therefore please check which fee your proposed training date will be charged at. We hope you understand that our pricing sturcture has remained unchanged for over 5 years and that this increase has been kept to the absolute minimum.
