About this course

Level 3 Low Temperature Heating and Hot Water Systems in Dwellings Course in Slough. Classes run at Slough and Langley College, part-time during the day. This is a specialist qualification for practising plumbers and heating engineers who already understand central heating systems. The low temperature heating and hot water systems in dwellings classes run over 15 hours in total. You'll develop the knowledge to design and install energy efficient low temperature hot water heating systems, including systems that use heat pumps as the heat source.

Who this course is for

The qualification is aimed primarily at practising plumbers and heating engineers who already have an understanding of the fundamental requirements of central heating systems and who wish to design and install energy efficient low temperature hot water heating systems that may use heat pumps as the heat source.

Entry requirements

N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Plumbing or relevant formal trade qualification N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Gas Installation and Maintenance or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence.

What you will learn

  • You'll design low temperature hot water heating systems that meet energy efficiency requirements.
  • You'll apply knowledge of heat pumps as a heat source within domestic heating systems.
  • You'll understand the fundamental principles behind low temperature heating circuits in dwellings.
  • You'll assess system requirements to select appropriate components and configurations.
  • You'll work within current regulations and standards for heating and hot water installations in dwellings.

How you will learn

You'll attend classroom-based sessions at Slough and Langley College. Learning is delivered face-to-face over 15 hours. Assessment methods for this Award are confirmed at enrolment; contact the centre directly for details of how your knowledge and competence will be assessed on this course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Slough and Langley College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Heating engineer: design and install low temperature and heat pump systems
  • Plumber: expand into energy-efficient heating installations
  • Renewable heating installer: work with heat pump and low-carbon systems
  • Domestic heating designer: specify systems for new and retrofit dwellings
  • Building services engineer: support energy-efficient heating projects

What you could study next

If you want to deepen your expertise in green heating technology, you could progress to qualifications covering heat pump installation, such as a Level 3 Award in Heat Pump Systems, or pursue further training in building services engineering. Manufacturers and industry bodies also offer product-specific training that sits alongside this qualification and supports work on live domestic projects.
