Pre-requisites and Entry Requirements

An Initial Assessment will be conducted on application for the qualification to determine the learner’s capability to complete the qualification.

To enrol on to the course you must already hold one of the following qualifications:

N/SVQ Level 2/3 in :

• Plumbing or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence.
• Heating and Ventilating (Domestic Installation) or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence;
• Heating and Ventilating (Industrial and Commercial Installation) or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence.
• Oil-Fired Technical Services or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence.
• Gas Installation and Maintenance or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence.
• Heating installers with experience installing wet central heating systems, evidenced either by manufacturer courses certification or Gas Safe Register, OFTEC, MCS or HETAS registration
• WRAS Water Regulations/Water Byelaws or equivalent.

Learners wishing to upskill and design installations (MIS3005-D (The Heat Pump Standard - Design)) would need to undertake further training in addition to this qualification such as the
