Sector: Gas Electrical Smart Metering
Qualification Title: QCF Level 2 Diploma in Smart Metering
Qualification Certificate Expiry: None
Background:
This suite of regulated QCF qualifications has been developed and published by LCL in response to an industry need to meet the demand for the installation of 50 million smart gas and electricity meters in 27 million homes by 2020.
The qualification(s) are for learners that are new to the industry and wish to learn how to install and exchange gas and or power smart meters in domestic dwellings. It is also suitable for existing installers who intend to up skill and carry out work in a new industry sector.
The qualification has been designed to minimise any duplicated effort and ensure learners do not have to re-learn what they already know.
Once registered for the qualification learners are provided with a comprehensive on-site portfolio book and qualification record where details of their guided learning and on site supervised work practice is recorded. This enables learners and assessment centers to monitor progression and provides the evidence required to assist assessors when making claims for certification. This book will be sent to the centre when the learner is registered.
Learners undertake guided learning at an approved training centre which may be on a block or day release basis, depending on the needs of the employer. This enables learners to practice and learn installing and exchanging smart meters in a safe and controlled environment which simulates real work situations.
When the fundamental principles of installing and exchanging smart meters have been learnt, learners commence their on-site supervised work practice under the supervision of a competent and experienced smart meter installer. This person acts as the learners mentor who provides advice, guidance and support in addition to confirming when and where the learner has met the required standard for installing and exchanging smart meters.
Independent and summative assessment(s) confirm whether the learner has understood and learnt the job of installing and exchanging smart meters. This may take place either in the workplace or in a controlled environment within a centre
On completion of the qualification learners who have successfully completed the dual fuel or gas smart meter qualification are awarded their certificate and their results are uploaded to Gas Safe Register.
Learner outcomes:
The learning outcomes of each of the qualification(s) within the suite are specific to the gas and power sector, details of which can be seen by following the links to the Ofqual qualification register on the units section above.

They are highly knowledgeable and always willing to help
I would like to say a big thank you to Steve, Keith and Simon for all of the training and help they have provided to me and my staff. I would highly recommend using them if you are coming into the industry, or an existing engineer. They are highly knowledgeable and always willing to help!!
George Sanderson
Keith is brilliant
First, I’d like to thank SGAS and Keith especially who assessed me during my ACS reassessment last week. The facilities are getting better every time I revisit (even though on my first visit over 5 years ago they were a class above anywhere else) and ‘Keith is brilliant’. He’s probably forgot more than I know and helps make you feel at ease.
