BPEC SOLAR DOMESTIC HOT WATER

 

INTRODUCTION:

The solar domestic installation course enables installers to gain the knowledge and skills required to specify, install, commission and maintain solar domestic hot water systems.

During the two day course, candidates will undertake practical training including commissioning systems and fault-finding. It also studies theory including current legislation, system selection and design. As with all of our training at S.W.A.A.T., the training is delivered by our team of qualified and experience tutors.

THE QUALIFICATION

Candidates will undertake assessment during the course and, if successful, will be awarded a BPEC Solar Domestic Hot Water certificate.

Holders of the BPEC qualification can apply to become accredited installers of government funded grant schemes such as the Low Carbon Buildings Programme, and installer members of the Solar Trade Association.

WHO IS THE COURSE AIMED AT

The course requires candidates to have a good knowledge of domestic plumbing and heating systems and is intended for existing plumbing engineers who should hold an NVQ in Plumbing at level 3 or equivalent (e.g. City & Guilds Advanced Craft) or have suitable practical experience.

Plumbers currently practicing in industry, who do not hold an NVQ (or equivalent) but have suitable experience at this level, can also undertake this course. If the candidate will be working on unvented systems they will need to be competent in this discipline and hold the relevant Unvented Domestic Hot Water qualification.
