We've accidentally picked up a new contract at work which will basically expand our business rather rapidly and take it into a new direction.
We are a business specialising in the maintenance of industrial engines, and up until now we have concentrated solely on diesel engines.
It's accidental because my customer got fed up with the OEM not being able to fix his fault and found us via Google of all places, and we managed to fix his fault and be a 3rd of the cost, this led to us being asked to overhaul a gas engine, which has now led to the client insist we get our own engineers to be gas Safe registered as although they have onsite staff that are they would like us not to utilise them. In turn they will put a substantial amount of business our way (we've got 3 engines so far and they have a total of 50 engines to be looked after) all there engines are CHP units.
So my question is does anyone know how we can become gas competent, we have no intention of installing gas lines etc, as far as we will go is adjusting or installing the gas regulator valves feeding the engine.
I see courses for gas engine applications, but they require other qualifications like COCN1 or something and then that requires gas Safe I think I've seen, I've seen ACS mentioned etc and basically I'm all a bit confused.
On euskills.co.uk there seems to be a million courses listed,
To me and my colleagues their does not appear to be a clear path to obtaining this, so I'm wondering if anyone here could offer some advice, I know there's a lot of gas people on here.
