This ACS course covers domestic cookers (CKR1) and gas fires and space heaters (HTR1). Designed for Gas Safe registered engineers expanding into new appliance areas. Includes refresher training and assessment.

Course Overview

The CKR1 & HTR1 course at Vulcana Training is designed for qualified domestic gas engineers who already hold CCN1 and wish to extend their scope to include domestic cookers and gas fires. This package offers the necessary ACS modules to legally install, service and maintain these appliances.

Whether you’re looking to expand your business offering or meet customer demand, this course enables you to work on two of the most common domestic gas appliances beyond boilers and central heating systems.

Both CKR1 and HTR1 assessments are included in this course, with refresher training provided at the start to ensure you’re up to speed with current standards.
