If you completed an apprenticeship 20 years back or more, then you will be massively over qualified for today's market. As for the portfolio of evidence, you are probably more qualified than the tutors at the ACS centre.

Good luck!

If you have previous gas quals you don't NEED a portfolio , you are a CAT1 and could in theory do assessment only, although I would recommend you do some training first, and again I suppose IV you haven't done gas for a long time you will benefit from gaining some experience, but it isn't a legal requirement
There's a college in Wales advertising a 20 day theory gas course for anyone with plumbing experience, NOT previous qualifications which , quite frankly, I don't know how they are getting away with it, when we do a 6 week full time theory course for time served plumbers
