This includes giving you a creative background, science and maths skills, knowledge of materials and understanding of new building technologies.

We work closely with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technology (CIAT).

CCN1 Gas Specialist Training

Edinburgh College’s Midlothian Campus at Eskbank is the largest training centre for domestic plumbing and gas in Edinburgh and the southeast of Scotland.

Gas Safe and BPEC accredited training is carried out in our modern well-equipped facility with a relaxed and friendly environment allowing you to achieve the qualifications needed to work in the gas industry.

These courses are designed for experienced gas engineers or plumbers only.

Training is not a pre-requisite of assessment and assessment is open to candidates with expired certification by up to one year.

It is advised that you renew your gas qualifications every five years to refresh your knowledge of safety legislation and the latest equipment to make sure you are fully covered to perform your job.

Domestic gas workers must achieve the basic CCN1 qualification which qualifies them to work in the industry. After completing the CCN1 course you can go on to develop your knowledge in specialist gas areas allowing you to carry out a wider variety of jobs.

Although we provide scheduled courses, we also create customised training programmes tailored to business requirements.
