ACS TRAINING/ASSESSMENT (training is not a pre-requisite to assessments) is available for both initial & re-assessment. 

Initial assessments are for:

  • Candidates who are experienced gas-fitting operatives who hold ACS, S/NVQ or City & Guilds qualifications that have expired.
  • MLP candidates are new entrants to the industry who have completed an MLP foundation course

Re-assessment can be taken up to 6 months prior to the expiry date without losing out (like a car MOT) & is for candidates who have previously held the element and the expiry date is within 12 months of the proposed re-assessment date. If it’s more than 12 months then initial assessment would have to be done.
