With the increased publicity surrounding recent outbreaks of Legionnaires, effective water treatment is of paramount importance to those carrying out installation and maintenance of hot and cold water supply systems.
The cost of our course includes training, assessment, certification fees, and a training manual based upon the HSE Approved Code of Practice and Guidance.
Learners undertaking the plumber and operator’s course should either hold an N/SVQ or equivalent qualification in plumbing or hold a valid certificate in WRAS Water Regulations.

You would need to be able to produce proof of competence if there was any HSE or insurance incident. Self-certificated courses may not demonstrate proper competence, whereas a properly accredited course will demonstrate this. From a marketing perspective to your clients they will want assurance that you're properly accredited to complete legionella assessments.
Yes, we will show you how to complete legionella risk assessments.
As mandated by applicable health and safety laws, landlords of domestic and rental properties are legally expected to access their premises for any possible health risk arising from the exposure of legionella. However, nowhere is it explicitly directed that the assessment be in-depth or thorough.
Letting agents, landlords and property managers often require legionella risk assessments. Contacting them is an almost sure way of getting business. Also, landlords may be more receptive to the idea of a Legionella risk assessment when you combine it with a Landlord’s Gas Safety Certification or an EPC at a discounted fee. Landlords will be happy to oblige to a double inspection in a single visit, as it will save them both time and money.
The cost of a Legionella risk assessment will depend primarily on the size of the property and the water service system. The typical range for residential apartments is £50 to £100. The cost for commercial properties such as a small dental practice will begin from £200, while medium-sized commercial properties like a care home can cost from £500.
The supervisors and managers course will provide a theoretical overview of legionella.
