This 3-day qualification is designed for qualified heating engineers to gain competence in installing and maintaining ASHP systems. The course covers MIS 3005-I requirements, enabling MCS registration, and focuses on non-refrigerant circuits, including system design, safety, and commissioning.

This 3-day qualification is designed for experienced heating engineers (plumbers, gas/oil engineers) to install and maintain ground-source heat pump systems in domestic and small commercial properties. The course covers MIS 3005-I requirements, enabling MCS registration, and covers design, component selection, installation, and commissioning of the non-refrigerant water-side circuit.

This 4-day course provides the knowledge and practical competence required to install, commission, service, and maintain heat pump systems, focusing specifically on the non-refrigerant components. Learners cover system design principles, hydraulic and electrical integration, system controls, health and safety, industry regulations, and fault diagnosis.

The qualification applies to both air and ground source heat pump systems, excluding refrigerant handling. Successful completion demonstrates competence in the installation and maintenance of heat pump systems and can support progression towards industry accreditation schemes such as the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), helping engineers expand their services within the growing low-carbon heating sector.

This 2 day qualification has been designed with CIPHE and the Heat Pump Association to meet the need for heating systems to be designed with a low temperature aim from the outset to maximize efficiency of the system.

The objective of this qualification is for learners to be up-skilled on low temperature heating systems. It will allow them to demonstrate their knowledge and understand the need and requirements for installing low temperature heating and hot water systems in dwellings.

This 1-day course provides a comprehensive overview of the main legislative and guidance documents, relative to the control of Legionnaire’s disease and the disinfection of water systems, as well as practical guidance on how to carry out a risk assessment of a cold and hot water system in a building and make recommendations to rectify the problems.

It is designed to meet the requirements of the revised Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and Guidance: Legionnaire’s disease: The control of Legionella bacteria in water systems, and the technical guidance HSG274 Part 2: The control of Legionella in hot and cold-water systems (HSG274)

This 2 day courses is designed to give installers and designers the skills and knowledge required to correctly install and/or design warm water underfloor heating systems, this course has been developed with the Underfloor Heating Manufacturers’ Association (UHMA) with the intention of it being recognised as a demonstration of competence. It consists of a training/ reference manual to be read before a 2-day practical training session and completion of written assessments.

This course covers the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (England and Wales) and meets the requirements of WRAS (the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) of which the majority of the UK water companies are members.

The course is for anyone requiring an understanding of water regulations / water byelaws, particularly those wishing to become approved plumbers / contractors. Successful candidates are encouraged to join an approved plumbers / contractors scheme, such as those managed by SNIPEF, APHC, CIPHE, WIAPS, and the regional water utility companies. This enables them to issue a certificate of completion to both the householder and water company.
