LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems course

This LOGIC 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 LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems course provides such a certificate. PPL also runs the Bpec Unvented Hot Water Systems course should the person prefer the Bpec qualification.

The certifcate 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 (Update).

This qualification is also valid for solar hot water engineers who must gain an unvented hot water course certificate as a prerequisite of attending the Bpec Solar Hot Water course.

Holders of current unvented hot water certifcates 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).

All candidates will receive £225 in CASH BACK vouchers from Santon. After completing the course and registering with Santon you will be able to claim £15 in cash back for every Santon Unvented Hot Water system purchased.
