The ACS assessment scheme covers a range of sectors within the downstream gas industry: domestic, commercial, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and emergency service provider (ESP).
Depending upon the work area specified, the candidate would normally undertake a ‘core’ assessment e.g. CCN1 or COCN 1 followed by one or more appliance or specialised assessments e.g. CENWAT or CIGA1. Changeover assessments are also available.
For the initial ACS assessments, candidates must satisfy the entry requirements defined by the Assessment Scheme Rules (Category 1, 2 and 3).
Candidates wishing to take re-assessment must have held the assessment element previously – if this element has expired by more than 12 months of the assessment date, it will be necessary to take the initial assessment.
