Gas Training

[fuzzy]

You obviously need a portfolio of evidence of time spent with an engineer consisting of installations, services and repairs. If you want to come in after the placement and sit your CCN1, CENWAT1 and CPA1, guidance note 8 states you need to provide 140 days (70 days for CAT2) worth of evidence consisting of in-centre training and work based evidence. If you want to come in initially to sit your HTR1, it states that you need to provide 100 days (only 50 days for a CAT2).

When I was researching training, some companies told me that I only needed to provide about 3 weeks worth of evidence and then they were going to get me through core plus 5 appliances?! I have absolutely no idea how some of these companies are allowed to operate.

never heard of an acs centre needing a port folio of evidence mate. im on about the document stating all the work done that constitutes a total of 240 days signed by a GSR for a cat 3. as the ccn1 has a range of gas elements anyway the work must be from a range

I'm pretty sure that all training centres need to see a portfolio of evidence from a CAT3 before the candidate can sit their CCN1 & appliances. The only instance where you wouldn't be required to is if you were doing a course that is ACS aligned such as an NVQ3 or a City & Guilds 6012 or other like courses.

signwed written evidence that can be audited is all thats required. the gsr signature is the authenticity
