Plumbing Part L Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating

Our nationally-recognised plumbing qualifications are essential for those who want to enter the domestic plumbing market. The plumbing profession can be a rewarding and varied career that tests both your physical and academic ability.

Description

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.

One day.

How will I be assessed?

A day of classroom-based training in a single group concludes with the opportunity to undertake the energy efficiency multi-choice assessment.
