BPEC Plumbing Qualifications – Unvented Hot Water

This initial training and assessment package takes place over one day. It is aimed at practicing plumbing and heating engineers who already have an understanding of the fundamental requirements of hot and cold water systems and central heating systems. The qualification is recognised by Competent Person’s Schemes which allow operatives to self-certify installations under Approved Document G3.

Applicants must either hold a recognised formal plumbing/heating qualification or provide evidence of a number of years’ experience in either conventional heating engineering or plumbing.

Assessments normally consist of a combination of practical and theory examinations. Certificates are normally valid for 5 years. On expiry, candidates are eligible to take reassessment.

This reassessment course is a half day refresher designed for candidates whose qualification due to expire or has expired within the last 12 months. Upon successful completion operatives will receive an Unvented Domestic Hot Water Storage Systems certificate issued by BPEC.

Previous certificates must be presented to the assessment centre as evidence of holding the initial qualification. Candidates cannot undertake the reassessment if their current certificate is more than 12 months out of date – if this is the case they must undertake the initial assessment.
