Solar Thermal Domestic Hot Water Course

Most manufacturer’s courses are glorified sales pitches on product, but when you train with us you:

• Will have a packed and engaging 3 day experience;
• Get the whole 3rd day dedicated to practical training sessions;
• Receive impartial advice from experienced installers/ trainers;
• Work with a wide range of product; and
• Will learn fast by getting the benefit of your trainer’s experience from years “on the tools.”

 

Course Outline:
The course will cover the following areas:

• Regulations and Standards

• Collector types

• Solar heated storage types

• Solar primary system types

• Basic system design & integration  

• Internal & external site surveys

• Installation Materials & Methods               

• Filling & commissioning

Certification: Logic Certification.

Duration: 3 Days including theory, practical and assessment.

Location: Renewable Energy Training Facility – Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Price: £495 + VAT (Course price includes examination entry fees, lunch and refreshments).

 

Entry Requirements:
This course is ideally suited for experienced heating or plumbing professionals although other trades are welcome providing they have basic plumbing skills. Candidates should hold G3 certificate in Unvented Hot Water Systems OR be taking the 1-day course the day prior to this course. Basic electrical experience is desirable.

 

Noted exclusion from training & assessment:
This course is not intended to coverroof or access work in detail but does cover the legislative requirements, risk assessment requirements. Please also have a look at the Work at Height for Solar Installers course details. Where ever practical we would recommend the use of an experienced roofer to install the collectors (see www.nfrc.co.uk ) although collectors will require connection at roof level by a plumber, so those wishing to carry this work out should be comfortable and experienced working at height.
