Our SCO RO Renewal course strengthens your ability to carry out routine operations safely within the UK gas distribution networks. This module is essential for gas industry personnel involved in day-to-day operational tasks that fall under the Safe Control of Operations (SCO) scheme. RO Renewal ensures you remain compliant, maintain your EUSR registration, and understand the revised SCO procedures that shape modern gas safety.
This renewal module is designed for individuals who already hold current SCO registrations and need to update their knowledge to align with the latest gas network procedures. By reinforcing core responsibilities and developing your understanding of risk-based management, our training helps you apply your own gas safety procedures consistently and confidently.
