Realistic Work Environment

This course includes a selection of 'Realistic Work Environment'. Therefore if all portfolio evidence is unable to be achieved and completed within the workplace (onsite) under the Supervision of a Gas Safe Registered company or mentor. Moor Training can simulate up to a maximum of 2 jobs per task criteria (most task criteria is to be evidenced 5 times) in a 'Realistic Work Environment' allowing you to achieve the portfolio requirements and job opportunities in the centre, with a maximum of 2 days spent gaining the evidence via 'Realistic Work'.

If additional days of 'Realistic Work Environment' are required these would be charged at cost. Along with portfolio monitoring and progress reviews. 

 

Domestic Gas 

The domestic gas safety relates to ‘domestic’ natural gas installations, with:

  • Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) at the outlet of the ECV of 2 bar (medium pressure)
  • Operating pressure at the outlet of the gas meter of nominally 21 mbar (low pressure)
  • Gas pipework maximum bore of 35 mm (DN32, R 1¼)
  • Maximum Installation Volume (IV) of 0.035 m³
  • Maximum rated capacity through the primary meter of 16 m³/h and
  • Gas appliances having a maximum individual heat input of no greater then 70 kW net.

If the scope worked on is above that listed, this course is not suitable. Working on gas exceeding this must be undertaken via a commercial course. Undertaking without a commercial qualification/Gas Safe registration is illegal.


 

Where might it lead?

On successful completion of the Managed Learning Programme candidates will receive a training ‘Competence Certificate’ consisting core gas and the appliances contained within their portfolio for the industry recognised Gas Diploma, which is necessary to access Accreditation Certificate Scheme (ACS) gas assessments for Core Domestic Gas Safety (CCN1) and appliances undertaken and listed on the ‘Competence Certificate’.
