How the short courses work

Short, focused CPD and reassessment courses for engineers already on the tools β€” buy just what you need, or get the lot.

In four steps

1

Pick a course

Gas ACS reassessment, unvented hot water, Water Regulations, and more on the way β€” or take the whole suite.

2

Unlock it

A single course is Β£29.99 for 60 days. The suite is Β£59.99 a year and unlocks every course, including new ones as they launch.

3

Work through it

Each lesson has teaching, diagrams, a quiz, short-answer questions marked instantly, and hands-on labelling and system-building exercises.

4

Track your progress

Everything you do is saved to your account. Pass each part at 85% (100% for gas) to tick it off β€” the progress panel shows what's left.
