how long till i get my gas certificates\card

[RobTi]

Hi all

Was wondering how long it usually take till you receive your cetificates\card after passing the gas exams.

Reason for asking is finished mine on the 10th of November and still not heard anything

Thanks

Robert

Chase your ACS centre. Make sure they completed and sent the paperwork off to the accreditation body in a reasonable time scale. No disrespect to ACS centres, but this has been a problem in the past. If they have sent it off, chase the accreditation body. There is no resonable reason why you should have to wait a whole month.

Referring to Reg Man's post my centre was very good in this respect. Assured me my file was sent off by the end of following week by courier fully checked. Received my certs less than 2 weeks later.

As Reg Man said , chase your ACS centre. It took almost 8-10 week for mine to come through and that too after calling my ACS centre every alternate day and finding out what was happening. It is summit skill that is taking time, if need be just call them directly and see if they can help. All the best mate.

the assessment centre has 10 days to process the paperwork and get it sent off after you have finished, once it has arrived at the acreditation centre they have 14 days to process their side then post the cert out to you, they download the info to GSR on the same day that they send your cert, so after the timescale has passed you can phone GSR to ask if they have the info, as they will have the info 2-3 days before you get your cert

Thanks everyone for the helpfull replies, called the GSR today and they have had my details since the start of the month, so happy with that,now to find money for gas safe.

Thanks again
Robert

mine took 6 weeks and the assesment centre didn't send it off for 3 weeks after me passing my acs.
passed mine in july. apparently in the winter months does take longer due to workload

normally takes up to 2 weeks max. the only reason it takes longer is if the centre hasnt posted the paperwork off or they made a mistake and the awrding body had to send it back

summit skills have nothing to do with how long it takes to process gas certificates and gas registration this is up to the college, awarding body and gas safe

internal verification can be done the same day then posted off, the external verification can be done in an hour, as i said only thing that holds it up is the centre not sending off the paperwork or the centres paperwork not being right

our latest class finished their CCN1 & appliance assessments on 01-12-10, and their certs got delivered to their home on 20-12-10
