The HSE's ACOP L8 requires that all those involved in the control and prevention of Legionella bacteria are "competent". The need for regular training is identified in sections 50 & 51 of the ACOP L8. Why is regular training needed? Very simply, because things change. Official guidance is often updated and developed. Even if you use contractors you still need to understand the health & safety requirements for Legionella.
Being Trained Is Not Enough. You Need The Right Training
All of our courses have been written by our technical director Adam Dunne. Adam has over 20 years experience in the water industry and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE), a registered plumbing professional, Water Safe registered and recognised as an "Approved Contractor" under the Water Regulations. Adam's knowledge, skills, policies and processes have achieved accreditation with Constructionline, Trust Mark and are approved by Trading Standards.
Our courses have also been accredited by the CPD Group so you can be assured of the quality of our courses.
Each course involves working through a series of modules and multiple choice questions which will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the course. You have a maximum of 5 attempts at each test with a minimum pass score of 70%. Once complete you can download a course certificate which is valid for 2 years. Why 2 years? This is to reinforce the need for regular training as required by the ACOP L8.
