Gas inspector training

This is the highest level of achievement available for compressed gas safety training in the UK and qualifies individuals to undertake annual inspections of oxy-acetylene/propane equipment as required by BCGA CP7 (British Compressed Gases Association Code of Practice 7).

Under this scheme, successful completion of the two-day course and QCF Qualification provides a three-year Gas Safety Passport for inspecting gas equipment. The credit card-sized Gas Safety Passport shows the Accredited Inspector’s photograph, the date on which the course was taken and the date on which re-certification is required. This is particularly useful when registered inspectors are working on customers’ sites and need to present evidence of their qualification.

The two-day inspector course includes classroom training, practical demonstrations and hands-on sessions. Multiple-choice tests are conducted throughout the course and there is a formal exam at the end that candidates must pass to be awarded their certificate.

There will no longer be a requirement for annual refresher training as re-certification will take place on 3-yearly cycle. e.g. 2018 2 day training; 2021 -1 day refresher; 2024 -2 day refresher; 2027 - 1 day refresher.  

PGS Gas Safety Passport holders are given comprehensive technical support and unlimited access to downloadable documentation from PGS website.

The two-day inspector course costs £472.50 + VAT
