Course overview

The ICTQual Level 1 Award in Authorized Gas Tester is an introductory qualification designed for learners who want to develop essential knowledge and practical skills in gas testing and safety procedures. This short, focused programme equips learners with the understanding required to identify gas hazards, follow safety protocols, and carry out basic gas testing in controlled environments. Over the course, learners are introduced to key concepts such as gas detection, equipment usage, risk assessment, and emergency response procedures. The course provides a strong foundation for anyone interested in workplace safety, facilities management, or progressing to higher-level gas testing and safety qualifications.

The programme combines theoretical instruction with hands-on practical exercises to ensure learners can apply gas testing techniques effectively. Students participate in simulated work scenarios, practice using gas detection equipment, and learn how to identify and respond to potential gas leaks safely. Core topics include gas regulations, workplace safety procedures, monitoring techniques, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and emergency action protocols. Through practical exercises and real-world simulations, learners develop confidence, rapid decision-making skills, and adherence to health and safety standards, preparing them to operate safely in environments with gas hazards.

This award is ideal for beginners with no prior experience in gas testing or occupational safety. Graduates gain the skills needed to support safe gas monitoring in workplaces and can progress to higher-level qualifications in gas testing, health and safety, or engineering environments. The Level 1 Award provides a solid foundation for personal development or careers in safety-critical industries.
