Unvented hot water cert

[emergencyman]

I seem to be getting more and more calls for problems with unvented hot water cylinders, so look like its time to get qualified.

Can anyone recommend anywhere near Leeds please? Any info on time taken and cost? Anything else I should know?

Thanks

Find out who does the best training not just those that just give out a bit of paper !!

Tip - allow a few evenings reading the training manual to get the most out of the training given.

That's OK for a man of your caliber Ermi but for us mere mortals we need a bit of time to get to grips with the stuff & the new changes, it gives the trainer half a chance to get to the bits they may not have fully understood rather than spending the whole day explaining how to calculate the D2!!

I did my first course back in the days when you only did it once.
My last course was with Logic.
One day is plenty.

Get the book from the training place before you go, read it and you will be fine, half day "training" 2-3hrs to do the assessment
You can't really go wrong with it

Not being funny but if anyone failed it they shouldn't even be plumbing.
my dad originally did it in 1991 and to was told forever, he only renewed it 3 years ago.

Did the 3 days with Baxi in December and they were doing the offers then, the man said December and January they do them cheaper as it's quiet due to being around Xmas, if you can wait that long mate.

Josh you are right to slag anyone who fails, but how do Baxi spread it out to 3 days? And how much does that cost? Initial is no more than 1.5 days and that's usually because we do the training on day one and even if finished early you don't start exam till next morning 2-3hrs max
If reassessment finished by 2.30-3.30 on day one

My Baxi unvented started at 8 finished at 3

i didnt do my unvented with Baxi, did that at local college and was just over half a day, the 3 days I did with Baxi we're the how to use a multimeter, combi appreciation and boiler fault finding.
their unvented is only a day like every where else.

What should you look to spend on an unvented course these days??

£150-200 if you need a full day for training then assessment, less if you do reassessment only in the half day

Do a course that you feel suits your needs and knowledge. 1/2 day maybe fine, if your the sort of person who prefers it explained by a tutor rather than reading a manual then look for one that incorporates a days training.
