CQP Gas appliance maintenance technician

Upon completion of the training, the candidate will be able to:

- carry out maintenance and repairs on domestic and communal heating systems, excluding any industrial installations

- provide energy advice to customers. These appliances, more commonly known as boilers, are designed to heat water to a preset temperature using a gas burner and to circulate this heated water to radiators (the radiator facilitates heat exchange between two media: water – ambient air), and/or to produce Domestic Hot Water (DHW). The appliances use either condensing or atmospheric burner technology. They can be connected to a flue, a gas-fired Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) system or a vent.

- carry out maintenance on gas-fired heating appliances with a maximum output of 70 kW, whether floor-standing or wall-mounted. They do not carry out work on appliances exceeding this power rating, which are generally referred to as boiler rooms. These maintenance tasks are usually carried out as part of contractual obligations and to ensure customer satisfaction, whilst guaranteeing the safety of both the appliances and people. 

The training course is organised into several skill modules, allowing for step-by-step progression. It alternates between theoretical input, practical application and assessment periods to promote hands-on, progressive learning.

BC 01 – Carrying out preventive maintenance on a gas heating appliance

Carrying out preventive maintenance on a gas heating appliance involves, in particular within the framework of a maintenance contract, performing preventive maintenance on the appliance. 

BC 02 – Carrying out corrective maintenance on a gas heating appliance

Carrying out corrective maintenance on a gas heating appliance involves repairing a boiler that is malfunctioning or exhibiting a fault, following a call from a customer, the detection of a fault or anomaly during preventive maintenance, or an alert from a connected system. The maintenance technician’s line manager or customer service adviser contacts them so that they can carry out the work within a timeframe defined by the service schedule. 

BC 03 - Commissioning a gas heating appliance

This task involves commissioning a new gas heating appliance that has just been installed. This involves the appliance being secured to the floor or wall, connected to the utilities by a heating engineer, and ready for operation. 

The professional’s work is subject to holding the relevant electrical qualifications for B2V or BR types of work, in compliance with current regulations and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) rules. 

Throughout the course, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor the learning to each individual’s needs.

The work placement also enables learners to develop their professional skills in a real-world setting.

Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course.

Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, work-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely resemble the real-world workplace.

Sectors of activity and employment:

The gas heating appliance maintenance technician works for companies specialising in maintaining these appliances in private homes and/or local authorities.

He/she is attached to a team within a human-sized structure (20 technicians on average). These teams are integrated into branches generally made up of customer advisers, planners, storekeepers, team leaders and/or branch managers.

He works within the framework of maintenance contracts signed between the company and customers or following a one-off request from a customer. The technician works alone and independently and may be required to be on call. When the heating season arrives (generally seasonal), depending on the climatic conditions in a given location, the technician's activity is stepped up following the restarting of the gas heating appliances.
Depending on the intervention schedule, which defines the number and duration of interventions (several interventions per day depending on the nature and duration), the gas heating appliance maintenance technician is required to travel from one customer to another in a service car. In order to carry out their duties, gas heater maintenance technicians have access to technical and technological resources, such as: measuring and testing equipment, a toolbox, digital resources (tablet, telephone, etc.), personal protective equipment (cut-resistant gloves, safety shoes, face shield, FFP3 mask, electrical protection gloves, sprayer, etc.) and a vehicle.
He is responsible for keeping his vehicle, equipment, tools made available to him and his stock of spare parts in good order.
