The most comprehensive gas training in the UK with a guaranteed work placement in the student’s local area.
With full-time courses starting every calendar month, Brookhouse Training are the domestic gas industry’s leading provider of new entrant gas training. Focusing on turning out competent and employable Gas Engineers, we go way over and above a standard gas syllabus to ensure candidates are armed with both the knowledge and skills to succeed in the industry.
To prepare new entrants to undertake our industry-leading training programme in domestic gas, we have developed an ‘Introduction to Gas’ to ensure candidates’ pipework skills and knowledge of systems and regulations are at a level to competently tackle everyday tasks and problems within the plumbing industry. In addition to delivering best practices in all aspects of core gas safety and safe isolation, we have also developed a state-of-the-art fault-finding area, taking students down to component level by stripping down dead boilers, identifying components, and finally refitting components as per manufacturer’s instructions. Coupled with our own fault-finding acronym and flow diagrams, students then progress onto fault-finding and repairing live boilers with preset faults. Prior to undertaking a managed work placement (guaranteed in the student’s local area), students are then exposed to our chronological ‘through the ages’ 6-bay central heating area, ranging from historical G-rated heating systems through to A-rated high-efficiency systems.
We truly believe these extra skills and knowledge are what sets our students aside from other candidates entering the domestic gas industry, and why our ex-military candidates have historically been so successful.
Just a few reasons to train with Brookhouse:

- You’ve already been trained to be the best – let’s keep it that way.
