This course is designed for heating engineers, design engineers, and operatives working within the building engineering services industry who need to demonstrate their understanding of energy efficiency standards for domestic gas and oil-fired heating and hot water systems.

It’s particularly suited to experienced professionals looking to expand their knowledge of statutory energy efficiency requirements, including those working directly with gas or oil-fired heating systems, as well as engineers planning to progress into renewable heating technologies, since this qualification often forms a pre-requisite for further study in that sector. No formal entry requirements apply, though the course is aimed at learners already working within the heating, plumbing, or building services industry.
