Extended BPEC Course for Domestic Ventilation Installers

Extended BPEC Course for Domestic Ventilation Installers

We have opened our facility as a new Scottish training centre for BPEC and additional courses on energy efficiency and Passivhaus ventilation in 2019.

Having extensive experience with ventilation for high-performing dwellings and commercial buildings, we are training in best practice in specification, materials, installation and maintenance. With different ducting types and MVHR systems on display, the training will be hands-on, as well as showing the theory of domestic ventilation methods.

The course will include a practical and theoretical test and aims at achieving the qualification as Certified Domestic Ventilation Installer.

For builders, electricians and plumbers who want to get knowledgeable about installing MVHR systems, we do offer a bespoke training, either on site or in-house. Please contact us if you would like to book a training appointment. We would recommend this for all who first install our systems, even if they have done other ones beforehand.

For those who are interested, we also display amazing designer radiators and cooling solutions.
