Bpec Unvented Hot Water Systems

This Bpec Unvented Hot Water Systems course is aimed at plumbers and heating engineers wanting to legally install, service or commission domestic  hot water systems in the UK. It is a legal requirement of the building regulations that all domestic unvented hot water systems over 15 litres capacity are maintained by a qualified person. A qualified person is someone who holds a current recognised Unvented Hot Water Storage certificate. This Bpec Unvented Hot Water Systems course provides such a certificate.
PPL also runs the LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems course should be person prefer the LOGIC Certification qualification. We run the LOGIC qualification about 8 times a month and the Bpec qualification once every 3 months. The LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems course  is a WRAS approved alternative to the Bpec course.
The certificate is valid for 5 years after which the holder must attend an approved centre and take an unvented hot water re-assessment course such as LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems (Upgrade).
This qualification is also valid for solar hot water engineers who must gain an unvented course certificate as a prerequisite of attending the Bpec Solar Hot Water course.
Holders of current unvented hot water certificates which are due to expire (they have a 5 year validity period from issue) should take our 1/2 day LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems (Upgrade).

Bpec Unvented Hot Water Systems course theory overview:
Practical training sessions for this unvented hot water course take place on our purpose built unvented hot water training rigs. These unvented rigs allow the experienced unvented tutor to safely simulate dangerous situations that can occur on the unvented systems.
The unvented practical training covers the installation, commissioning and maintenance of unvented hot water systems.
