Noted exclusion from training & assessment:
This course is not intended to cover bore hole drilling or significant ground works, use of heavy plant and equipment or handling of refrigerants. The units covered in the course are pre-charge sealed units which should not require the refrigerant circuits being broken; if this is required a suitably qualified F Gas qualified operative should be employed.

During the design of any heat pump installation calculating accurately the heat load requirement is paramount to ensure optimum and efficient operation of the system. Calculating building load and heating system design is not covered in great depth in this course and candidates without that knowledge should either employ the services of suitably qualified person, seek manufacturers guidance or take the Logic Foundation Heating and Hot Water System Design and Specification course which covers calculating accurate heat loads; this course is available separately from Logic Certification.
