About Us
1st Class Gas Training and assessment1st Class Gas was established in 2004 at 12/13 Murcar Commercial Park, Bridge of Don to provide locally based gas and oil training and assessment for registered engineers working in the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire areas. Over the years our portfolio has grown to now include plumbing based, appliance safe isolation and renewable technology courses.
Who we are
In 2017 we moved to new premises at The Gas Skills Centre on Denmore Place, Bridge of Don which provides easy access and on-site parking at the centre for our customers.
We are a small friendly and professional team of experienced trainers and assessors who have all worked in the plumbing and/or gas industries prior to joining 1st Class Gas. Our aim is to provide stress free training and assessment in a modern and professional environment for all our customers whatever their individual background experience is.
