What opportunities will this course give me?

The qualification is aimed primarily at practicing plumbers and heating engineers who already have an understanding of the fundamental requirements of central heating systems and who wish to design and install energy efficient low temperature hot water heating systems that may use heat pumps as the heat source.

What will I be learning?

The 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) ETS-006, the BPEC Level 3 Award in Ground Source Heat Pump Systems (Non-refrigerant Circuits) ETS-007 and the BPEC Level 3 Award in Heat Pump Systems (Non-refrigerant Circuits) ETS-008.

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).

How will my learning be enhanced?

By completing this course you will be able to better design and specify low temperature heating systems to meet the revised PART L Building Regulations
