Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a versatile, low-carbon fuel essential in the UK’s energy mix. For professionals in heating, plumbing, and industrial sectors, LPG training is critical for safety, regulatory compliance, and career advancement. At SERT, we specialise in training and recruitment for the LPG industry, providing professionals with the skills and LPG certification they need to work confidently in this growing field.
What is LPG?
LPG, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, is a clean-burning, high-energy fuel made up mainly of propane and butane. Its compact, liquid form makes it ideal for various LPG applications across the UK, including:
- Home Heating: An essential off-grid energy solution for UK households without mains gas.
- Cooking and Catering: A top choice for clean, reliable fuel in homes and commercial kitchens.
- Hot Water Systems: Providing instant hot water for residential and commercial use.
- Industrial and Agricultural Equipment: Powering machinery across manufacturing, farming, and logistics.
- Autogas for Vehicles: An eco-friendly, cost-efficient fuel alternative to petrol and diesel.
Why is LPG Training Important?
While LPG offers significant benefits, it also requires specific handling skills. That’s where SERT’s LPG training is essential. Here’s why LPG training courses can benefit your career and ensure safe LPG handling.
