The MLP is designed for new entrants: people with no previous gas experience who want to start a career in domestic gas work. It combines practical training in our centre with a portfolio of real work you complete on site alongside a Gas Safe registered engineer.

When your portfolio is signed off, you sit your ACS assessments with us. With ACS in hand, you can join the Gas Safe Register through an employer or as a self-employed engineer.
