Course Overview

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 Core 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 Jason Rowley LTD 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.

What is SCO?

The SCO scheme ensures that individuals working on the gas network are trained to do so safely by understanding gas network procedures and correct Permitry. The SCO scheme is the knowledge-based part of a Competent Person’s or Authorising Engineer’s route to network registration and is followed by the competence-based part of the overall requirement.

All candidates must possess a current SHEA Gas registration.

A combination of written and practical assessments within the classroom are carried out.

SCO registration lasts for five years from the date the course started.

  • SCO NRO 1.5 Days
  • SCO RO ½ Day

The SCO 23 is a mandatory requirement for Cadent Contractors and is a recent requirement, which is why you may not have heard about it. Without it you will not be able to get your STC (Safety Technician Competent).

The course consists of:

  • A short video
  • A presentation with some questions 
  • A declaration letter that needs to be signed by the candidate.

Anyone that has an existing SCO registration will need to complete this and if they are doing a new SCO course it will be included at the end.

Please feel free to get in touch if you can’t find the answer to your question.
