COURSE#2 BPEC Low Temperature Hot Water Heating Systems
Assessment Information
The BPEC Low Temperature Hot Water Heating Systems is a recommended pre-requisite qualification to allow progression onto the BPEC Level 3 Award in Air Source Heat Pump Systems (Non-refrigerant Circuits)
Although designed as a recommended pre-requisite qualification to allow progression onto the BPEC suite of Heat Pump qualifications, this qualification can also be taken by those experienced operatives wishing to develop their skills in the design of low temperature domestic heating systems
The holder of this qualification is not recognised as a competent hot water and heating systems (low temperature) installer. However, the holder is recognised as being competent to carry out the design of hot water and heating systems (low temperature)
Pre-requisites
Trainees will need to have some knowledge of plumbing and the water industry.
Further Information
Training and Assessment is carried out in centre which usually lasts two days. However, some independent studying prior to attending will be required.
