The Safe Controls of Operations, or SCO Gas Training course is designed for current or future named authorising engineers or named competent persons within the gas industry. You’ll be involved in operational works on the Gas Networks and some Meter Installations. The SCO PtW scheme intends to train individuals within the gas network, to understand the gas networks’ safety procedures and duties. The SCO gas certification training can be completed with sessions run with Karlson Utilities Limited online or face-to-face.

The SCO training programme has been devised for those new to SCO while also offering renewal training for those with exiting and current EUSR SCO registrations, near to expiry. All modules between the initial SCO training course and the SCO renewal training are the same but are shorter, refresher courses with assessment.
