From Multi-Trades to Gas Engineer: Anthony’s Journey

Anthony’s journey began with a multi-trade course that sparked his interest in gas engineering. Recognising the potential for career growth, he decided to pursue this path further. The Domestic Gas Heating Installer Experienced Route at Logic4training provided him with the perfect opportunity to expand his skillset and enter the gas industry.

Course Highlights

The hands-on nature of the course was particularly appealing to Anthony. He emphasised the value of practical workshop sessions, where he could apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. These sessions allowed him to familiarise himself with the tools and equipment used in the field, building confidence in his abilities.

While Anthony found some aspects of the classroom work challenging, especially when dealing with complex calculations, he praised the tutors for their patience and support. The instructors took the time to explain difficult concepts, ensuring that all students could grasp the material.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Anthony noted that the training centre was well-equipped to provide a comprehensive learning experience. The combination of modern equipment and experienced staff created an ideal environment for aspiring gas engineers to develop their skills.

Career Prospects

Upon completing the course, Anthony is now prepared to build his gas portfolio before returning for his ACS (Accredited Certification Scheme) assessment. This final step will allow him to register with Gas Safe and begin his career as a qualified gas engineer.

For those considering a similar path, it’s worth noting that the demand for new gas engineers is high. With many current engineers approaching retirement age, there’s a growing skills gap in the industry. This demand is reflected in attractive starting salaries, with new gas engineers potentially earning around £32,500 – well above the national UK average.

Here, you can learn gas engineers rates as well as their common jobs, workload and their general outlook on job prices.
