This BPEC training and assessment package is for people who wish to improve their knowledge and skills in the installation and maintenance of Un-vented Hot Water Systems. There is an increase in demand for Un-vented Hot Water Systems and operatives must be aware of the skills required to ensure the systems are installed correctly.

The BPEC training package consists of an easy to read manual and attendance at a one-day course, which will include an assessment at the end of the day. The assessment consists of answering a number of key questions on the correct installation of controls.

On completion of the training and assessment an individual will be issued with a BPEC card as evidence of your competence to self install and maintain Un-vented Hot Water Systems.
