JohnMo Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Decided I would like to install my new heat pump UVC myself. So did the training for it and water bylaws today. I can now self certify my install. Well in about 3 weeks, when my cards come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Well done. Does that mean you can do the annual checks as well, or does that mean you have to keep up a subscription? You can fit other people's UVCs. F-Gas next. Then your electrical ticket. Then you can properly, and legitimately moan about other people's work.

Won't bother asking the question. 5 minutes ago, SteamyTea said: You can fit other people's UVCs. Yep. 2 minutes ago, TonyT said: I’m in NE Fife do you mind sharing where you did it? Did it at Moray College in Elgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Ah ok was thinking about Dundee and Angus or Fife College a bit closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 I just rang the college, if they do plumbing, they will do the course was my thoughts. Would expect the college nearest to you will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind sharing how much the course cost you, and any registration fees you need to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 I paid just over £500 just a single payment for everything (I hope), which was more than I was hoping to pay. But on doorstep, so to speak. No teaching so to speak, basically here are the regs, logic training notes on DHW , cold water and heating systems. You sit two (might of been 3) multi choice paper, plus two papers where you have to identify parts of the UVC control system by photo and then again by description of its operation. You are shown photos of key areas of the system and have to highlight the things that are wrong, then by description do some fault diagnosis . Then describe the things you look for on an initial survey, how you commission a system and the maintenance steps. Pass mark for all tests is 100%. You take as many tests as you like until you pass. Water regs are similar format but pass mark is 80%. I was there from 9am until 3pm incl an hour for lunch. Some apparently take 2 to 3 days.
