  • Gas Network Operations (GNO) Level 2
  • Gas Network Engineering (GNE) Level 3
  • Public Utilities Distribution (PUD) Level 3
  • Gas Distribution Craftsman (GD) Level 3

Registration Categories

The following categories are available for individuals who have completed one of the above listed qualifications and the appropriate category or categories will be determined by the qualification units completed:

  • *Escape, Locate & Repair

In addition to the relevant registration category(ies) the individual will also be registered as either ‘Self-Lay’ or ‘Distribution’ also determined by the qualification units completed.
