As Schiedel Chimney Systems approaches its fifth anniversary of delivering HETAS solid fuel courses, the chimney and flue manufacturer is urging installers to make sure they refresh their knowledge, to remain legal and safe.
"For installers who first undertook HETAS H003 training with us five years ago, 2016 will see that qualification expire," said Adrian Wood, Training Manager for Schiedel.
"Keeping up to date with solid fuel training and changes in legislation is vital. HETAS installers who don't complete refresher training will be unable to self-certify installations, which could affect Competent Person Scheme (CPS) registration, insurance and more importantly customer safety."
HETAS' H003 refresher course covers all changes to the Building Regulations, Health and Safety, BS EN Standards legislation and technical standards within the last five years.
The assessment comprises a choice of one and two day refresher courses, or the option to take the full H003 course again.
