While prior training in legionella management is not required, it may be beneficial. For foundational knowledge, we recommend our Legionella Awareness Course.

About Legionella Responsible Person Training
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides specific guidance (ACoP L8 and HSG 274) emphasizing that insufficient Legionella training is a significant factor in outbreaks and in effectively managing water system risks. This two-day Legionella Responsible Person Training Course with Cooling Systems is an extension of our standard Legionella Responsible Person HXT-02 course, dedicating the second day to addressing high-risk systems, such as Evaporative Cooling Towers.
If your facility includes these systems, completing this extended course is required over the one-day option. This City & Guilds Accredited course is delivered online through two live sessions: one 3.5-hour session and a follow-up 2.5-hour session.
