Course Overview

The EUSR SCO RO Renewal (Routine Operations) course (previously known as SCO5) provides targeted training for individuals responsible for supervising and carrying out routine operations on gas networks.

The course follows the industry-approved SCO framework and aligns with IGEM/GL/6 Edition 3, reinforcing a risk-based approach to gas safety management. Delegates gain the competence needed to safely manage routine work activities, complete required documentation, and ensure compliance with company and regulatory standards.
