ACS appliances exam

[darkart]

Not sure if it can be discussed, but I am doing my ACS appliances next week and was wondering what is involved in the exam.

I have just completed my CCN1 involving spillage testing on fires, fault finding on rigs etc.

Was wondering if some of the things I have already completed during my CCN1 will again be covered when doing ACS appliances, meaning will I have to go through spillage tests gas rating etc and other things already completed?


Thanks in advance

I wouldnt worry about it, if you can do ccn1 appliances are no probs.

Yes they will have to be re done especially if your a new start .

Whats appliances are you doing? Quite straight forward really working pressures, gas rate, safety devices, safety checks ( spillage, flue flow)

Think F.A.G.S. and you won't go too far wrong.

 

[darkart]

Thankyou for your kind responses

Whats F.A.G.S stand for?

They seem to have widened the scope of CCN which I see as a good idea.

The appliances assessment now seems to be rather more focussed and includes some very basic fault identification. Mostly visual although incorrect pressures might be encountered.

But we are wondering what your background and training is.

Darkart,
Good luck ACS isn't hard its not a Dark Art, very simple stuff. I don't care what your background is stick to the law and what you've been taught you will be fine, when i add a module which i did recently all Core (CCN) skills where tested with the module so you will need to do these basic safety things again

Who is "we"?

You and I for a start!

Count me out.....I don't give a fook !!!

 

[Steelmasons]

You and I for a start!

Associating yourself with other professional gas peeps on here is an insult..

Who is "we"?

dont include me in your "we" who cares ? lots of people become career change gas engineers including aerial fitters as you well know, what has it got to do with you what his work history is ?

The assessment is different according to a first time or a reassessment. So different scopes.

Depending on how he has acquired his knowledge, different advice might be relevant.
