London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/03/2016 -- The move comes as utilities are set to ramp up the mandated roll out of Smart Meters across the UK.

With over 53 Million Smart Meters to fit in the next four years, companies such as Access Install LTD see this as a perfect opportunity to increase the employment rate across the UK, whilst up-skilling gas engineers into the sector.

Access Install has made a significant investment in the development of gas engineers into the smart meter installation sector, with the average cost of courses ranging from £5000-7000 per engineer.

Speaking to Access Install Managing Director Christopher Fagan, this is what he had to say about the current investment made by the company; " Having a large framework of engineers like Access Install currently has across the UK, means that up-skilling the engineers would be no small task, we began to quickly realise that the cost of the smart meter courses was the biggest barrier to entry. We made the decision as a company, to take this barrier away for gas engineers and invest our own money into the training of our smart meter engineers. This allows us to focus on comprehensive, customer experience driven training for all our engineers, whilst guaranteeing a job at the end of each course, we're very excited for what this venture has in store."

The Access Install Academy will be based predominantly in the North West, to express interest in the course; please can you email enquiries@accessinstall.co.uk
