The Central Heating & Hot Water (CENWAT) Training & Assessment Course is the industry-standard ACS qualification for gas engineers working on boilers and hot water systems. CENWAT replaced the previous CEN1 and WAT1 modules and became effective from April 2011. It is required for engineers working on a wide range of domestic central heating and hot water appliances across both residential and commercial settings. This CENWAT gas training course is not fuel-specific, meaning it applies to appliances powered by both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
