LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems (Update)

This LOGIC Unvented Hot Water Systems Update course is aimed at plumbers and heating engineers who currently hold or have taken an approved unvented hot water storage certificate. All unvented hot water storage certificates now expire 5 years after their issue, even if they have no expiry date on them. This 1/2 day upgrade course allows previous upgrade holders to maintain their unvented hot water storage qualification.

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.

The upgrade 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 this one.

The course runs on a Saturday morning starting at 11am and finishing about 3pm after a written assessment.

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.
