Unvented Hot Water Storage Systems Certificate – C0389

This Unvented Hot Water assessment is an assessment programme for fully-qualified engineers who want to hold a full unvented qualification as part of their portfolio of qualifications. This is a full-day assessment and training programme that will bring existing knowledge up to date and guarantee compliance with the building regulations that set out the mandatory requirements for all unvented installations.

This is a full cost course. There is no fee remission available and you cannot apply for an advanced learner loan to pay for your fees.

Year 1

Candidates are sent a self-study pack prior to attending the course. The actual course is a training presentation and demonstration, followed by a practical visual assessment and multiple choice theory exam. After completing the course, candidates will be able to apply for accredited status to install unvented units, allowing them to self-certificate their installations, without the need for building control prior approval (conditions apply).

Applicants are required to hold or be working towards a level 3 qualification in plumbing or related subject, or provide a letter detailing their experience in the industry.

You will be assessed against national recognised standards in a controlled environment. Your assessment will consist of a theory paper and a practical fault finding assessment.
