- Commissioning and Service
- Fault Finding and Controls
Prerequisites:
A recognised competence in unvented hot water and a conventional fuel, i.e. gas, oil, or solid fuel or a relevant plumbing qualification such as an NVQ level 2 or equivalent experience would be ideal. However, please ask if you are unsure, as with most training courses, success generally follows enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
Course Length: 2 days.
Short courses are also available to cover the following qualifications, Unvented Hot Water, Water Regulations, Energy Efficiency, Solar Thermal Hot Water, Under Floor Heating, Domestic Electrical Installer (Part P).
All our qualifications are trade approved. All of our trainers and assessors will have had trade experience of at least 5 years and are fully qualified with the required teaching and technical qualifications.
