Gas inspector courses

Following satisfactory completion of the course examination, successful candidates are presented with a City & Guilds Certificate, indicating that they are qualified to conduct full safety checks on individual oxy-fuel gas welding systems. ESAB’s courses are the only ones in the UK at which attendees can gain an internationally recognised City & Guilds qualification.

Certification courses run over two days, with classroom sessions, participative exercises and hands-on training. Not only does the course cover the safety of the oxy-fuel welding equipment, but it also provides instruction on relevant health and safety legislation and risk assessments of welding stations. One-day re-certification courses are available for inspectors who already have C&G certification. After a BGCA meeting in March, the re-certification course curriculum will incorporate new material.

Certification courses cost £525 + VAT, which includes tuition, course material, inspection and test manual, toolkit, accommodation and meals; re-certification courses cost £240 + VAT.

2017 certification courses are scheduled as follows: Chorley – 26/27 April, 20/21 September, 15/16 November; Waltham Cross – 10/11 May, 4/5 October, 29/30 November.

2017 re-certification courses are scheduled as follows: Waltham Cross – 1 March, 9 May, 20 June, 3 October, 7 November, 28 November; Chorley – 25 April,  22 June, 19 September, 14 November; Glasgow – 7 December.
