Vented and unvented hot water systems must comply with the appropriate Building Regulations and Standards (there is now a mandatory requirement that all systems are notified to Building Control).
The manual for England and Wales covers Approved Document G3: Part L1 and Part P; while the one for Scotland references Part J.
Once certificated, this allows the individual to register with a Competent Person’s Scheme allowing the self-certification of the hot water system.
If you choose not to join the scheme, notification to Building Control is still required.
This course is designed for candidates who hold a current competency certificate and who are wishing to renew after 5 years.
Trainees must hold a recognised competency card which must have an expiry date no older than twelve months (if so they will have to undertake initial assessment).
A pre-course study pack will be sent out 14 days prior to the course commencing, this is for the applicants to familiarise themselves with the content of the course.
The comprehensive course starts with an intensive training session, giving a refresher of System Design, Maintenance, and Legislation, with the emphasis on relevant changes to the Regulations.
There are two multiple-choice knowledge assessments and there is one visual assessment which requires identification of faults that are present on various types of system.
Upon successful completion candidates will gain the BPEC Domestic Hot Water Storage Systems certificate and Competency Card.
All applicants will need to provide a passport size photo and their National Insurance number on commencement of the course.
