Plumbing & Heating Training Resources
Plumbing & Heating Training Resources
If you need a start with creating resources or indeed just want to use the resources available, then please contact me. The idea is simple and it affords centres and trainers the opportunity to develop further using the slide decks and the practical training materials. It can be used to assist in many courses for example; Heat pump courses, Low Carbon Heating Technician apprenticeships and pathway options on the plumbing and heating apprenticeships.
More content will be available to purchase covering the full requirement of the LCHT (low carbon heating technician) apprenticeship soon...
