Qualification Certificate Expiry |
5 years. Candidates can undertake the re-assessment of any element up to 6 months early without losing any time (MOT Style). Previous certificates must be produced at the time of assessment as evidence. |
Background |
CESP1 and CMA1/CMA3 (or a suitable changeover) are required for any operative wishing to either carry out emergency service gas work or gas metering work. In addition, the operative must hold the relevant pipework or meter element for the work they wish to undertake. |
Prerequisites |
For the initial assessment candidates must meet the entry requirements as published in The Handbook for Learners and Centres For re-assessment candidates must have held the element previously - if this has expired within 12 months of the assessment date the initial assessment must be undertaken. The CMA1/CMA3 core meter gas safety certificate is regarded as an equivalence to a Level 3 QCF/RQF qualification in the gas utilisation sector (which is also aligned to ACS) and satisfies the same gas safety criteria leading to a certificate of competence recognised by the Gas Safe Register. |
