This course is aimed at heating engineers, gas fitters and plumbers plus associated trades who are involved in designing, specification, installation and maintenance of gas boilers, heating controls and hot water systems.
In line with Government, world summit and white paper commitments to reducing UK carbon emissions, building regulations that became effective in 2005 will require you to demonstrate your competence to self-certificate boiler installations. Attainment of the BPEC Certificate in Part L Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating will help you to comply with this requirement.
It is recommended that you have:
At least 2 years industry experience in the installation of domestic heating and hot water systems
or
At least 2 years industry experience in the provision of design and advice services for domestic heating and hot water systems.
One day.
Location- Construction Centre
A day of classroom-based training in a single group concludes with the opportunity to undertake the energy efficiency multi-choice assessment.
During the assessment you will need to use information contained in the energy efficiency best practice in housing material, and it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the contents of the learning pack which you will be sent once enrolled.
You will need to study these documents before attending and bring them with you on the day. To help you make the most of this preparation time, we will also include a study guide, which will help you understand the material you will be using during the assessment.
