Electrical units

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all employers have a duty to ensure that employees are competent to carry out any electrical duties expected of them. Completion of the electrical units provides learners with the basic knowledge and skills required to competently carry out the basic inspection, testing and replacement of certain components. It is important to note that they do not provide the full qualification required to carry out the installation or repair of 230 volt systems or components.

Gas units

The gas units provide learners with the basic knowledge and skills required to competently carry out inspection, basic testing and replacement of certain components. It is important to note that they do not provide the full qualification required to carry out the installation or repair of gas systems or components, or enable learners to work on caravans or motorhomes that are 'used' or 'hired out in the course of business'. Only GAS SAFE registered engineers are able to work on the gas systems on these types of vehicles.

Additional note:

Completion of the Gas and Electrical units within the Caravan and Motorhome Maintenance and Repair Qualifications is not currently recognised by the National Caravan Council (NCC) as entry for their Approved Workshop Scheme.
