SCO Renewal
Below you can view the currently scheduled available dates for this training:
The SCO renewal programme consists of several modules. Each module covers a different aspect of the SCO scheme and includes updated training aligned with the latest GL/6 guidance and gas industry requirements.
You can renew:
All modules must be completed in full unless you qualify for a Lite version (where applicable).
You must hold a current SCO registration to complete the SCO renewal training. If your registration has expired, you may be required to complete the full initial training again. You must also hold a valid SHEA Gas card and have completed the relevant core module to renew specific modules.
For example:
We work closely with your employing organisation’s responsible engineers to ensure you’re registered for the correct modules at the appropriate level.
We offer SCO renewal training nationwide, with options for classroom delivery at our Manchester centre or virtual classrooms via trainer-led online sessions. You’ll complete the training in a live, interactive setting with full trainer support.
This flexible delivery ensures you’re able to meet your network registration requirements whether you’re renewing a single module or completing a full renewal programme.
All modules follow the latest gas safety procedures based on national guidelines. Each renewal module includes assessment and successful completion is required to maintain your EUSR registration category.
This module introduces the revised safe control of operations procedures, outlining the scope and process of the SCO core module. It covers the hierarchy of risk controls and clearly defines the roles of competent persons and authorising engineers. You’ll also learn about audit requirements, performance monitoring, and how to maintain SCO records effectively.
You’ll learn when a permit to work is required and how to apply it safely and correctly. This includes understanding the full scope of risk assessment, knowing the roles involved in SCO PTW planning and execution, and ensuring documentation and permitry are properly completed and compliant.
This module covers the safety controls required for non routine operations, including risk-based management and scenario planning. You’ll be taught how to correctly complete the NRO form and apply your own gas safety procedures in non-standard tasks with additional risk.
Here, you’ll cover how to use Routine Operations documentation, including control boundaries, authorisations, and records. You’ll also review planning and communication responsibilities across teams handling low-risk but essential activities.
This module explains when a Form of Authority must be used, how it is managed, and the importance of communication during the handover process. You’ll also review deviation protocols and conflict checks to ensure safe control throughout the job lifecycle.
Each module has a set training time and assessment period:
SCO Core: 3 Hours
Permit to Work (PtW): 1.5 Hours
Non Routine Operations (NRO): 1.5 Hours
Routine Operations (RO): 1 Hour
Form of Authority (FoA): 1 Hour
Price: £100 + VAT per module
Group bookings and full renewal packages available on request.
Each module includes a structured multiple-choice assessment based on course content and real-world scenarios. You must pass each module separately to renew that section of your EUSR registration.
When you complete your renewal, you will receive access to your EUSR virtual card along with the updated registration for the correct EUSR registration category. You’ll also get confirmation of successful completion for each SCO renewal module you’ve completed.
Renewing your SCO training is not just about ticking a box – it’s a key requirement for maintaining compliance with UK gas safety systems. The SCO scheme consists of structured, risk-based control measures, and your ability to apply correct permitry relies on staying up to date with current SCO procedures.
Our training courses are tailored to your operational role, whether you’re an appropriate network controller, part of a gas distribution company, or working in the field. We also liaise with your employing organisation’s responsible engineers to confirm eligibility and ensure the right modules are selected for your needs.
The renewal training programme reflects the latest developments in understanding gas network procedures and reinforces how to apply your own gas safety procedures correctly. Whether you’re managing a permit to work (PtW), completing non routine operations (NRO), or issuing a Form of Authority, your renewed knowledge ensures safer operations and regulatory compliance.
By holding the correct EUSR credentials, you can lead work confidently across gas distribution networks and contribute to planning and execution in line with internal and external standards. We ensure your risk assessment processes align with gas safety procedures based on GL/6 and HSE guidance – giving you the tools and assurance to work safely and effectively.
