Standards of Training in Gas Work (STGW) is the framework of qualifications that replace the discontinued Approved Codes of Practice (ACoPs).

UK Regulations require all persons working with gas to either be instructed (supervised) or skilled (unsupervised and qualified to sign off gas work).

An STGW gas qualification is made up of a number of mandatory core and appliance unit modules.  This caravan industry approved STGW gas training course is specifically designed for caravan service technicians to carry out a service, safety checks, minor works and issue appropriate certification, in relation to the gas systems installed in privately owned touring caravan or motorhomes.

This course is also suitable for those working in manufacturing/conversion of touring caravans/motorhomes/campervans.

Price update: We are working hard to bring you more availability and locations. This means if a course date below has a price listed next to it, that price applies rather than the normal rate.

STGW 3-Day Course - Refresher Training and Assessment

Courses available for technicians who currently hold a VALID ACoPs or STGW which is due for renewal within 6 months or has expired (not more than one year expired) :

For technicians that need to renew their existing ACOP/STGW qualification, you can access the three-day refresher course.  This is an intensive assessment only course; it is not suitable for new technicians or those requiring extra support.

Technicians needing to renew their qualification can also take the full five-day course if the dates/locations of these courses are more suitable.  You can renew your qualification using the three-day refresher from 6 months before expiry up to a year after certification expiry. However, once your qualification has expired, you must not sign off any gas work and this will affect your AWS compliance.

STGW 5-Day Course - Initial Training and Assessment

Courses available for technicians who do NOT hold a valid gas qualification must have at least 6 months evidenced experience* in gas work to be eligible for this course:

New technicians accessing the qualification for the first time will need to take the full five-day course.  In addition, the delegate will also need to provide evidence of 6 months experience* in gas works.

*You will be required to fill out and return an evidence declaration form detailing your previous experience working with gas, that must be countersigned by someone qualified in STGW or ACS. If you cannot do this, please book a course that states (no evidence letter req) in the description.
