Sanitary & Above Ground Drainage Course
We have developed our Sanitary & Above Ground Drainage Course for online delivery using webinar software. This means that plumbing and heating engineers can now undertake our Sanitary & Above Ground Drainage Course remotely via a desktop or laptop computer on the following dates.
Online courses run in the morning from 8.30 to 10.30:
- 8th to 11th April
- 1st to 4th July
- 7th to 10th October
To maximise the effectiveness of how we deliver each course, we run our online courses over four days in two-hour segments. This has the added advantage for installers of not having to take a whole day off from trading as appointments can be scheduled around the two-hour time slots.
This course can be booked via a digital booking form and the training materials are delivered electronically, and can either be printed off at home or viewed on a second computer screen or via a tablet. The end assessment is carried out using Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website.
