Get up to speed before the law changes

The Government wants five million High Efficiency Condensing boilers to be installed by 2010. As these boilers can use up to 35% less gas, you can imagine the savings that could be made for both the environment and the nation’s fuel bill if we can all meet this challenge.

The UK’s installers will have a vital role to play in making this objective a reality, and in order to help them achieve this, a new accreditation called- Certificate in Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating” has been developed.

This new course was developed with the backing of the Energy Saving Trust, the Learning Skills Council, the Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes, and the Institute for Domestic Heating and Environmental Engineers, Gas Safe Register, the Skills for Business Network,C Skills, City & Guilds and the Heating and Hot water Information Council.

The training is aimed at both experienced and new installers, and consists of a daylong workshop covering a range of topics, including the new building regulations, climate change and High Efficiency Condensing boilers. This is followed by a simple 90-minute multiple-choice test, which if you pass, gives you the new certificate.
