Authorised Person: Ventilation Training Course Overview
This training is a comprehensive 5-day accredited course, giving delegates a thorough technical overview of being a Ventilation Authorised Person. It has been designed to equip delegates with the framework knowledge needed to function with competency and confidence as an Authorised Person in Ventilation, in line with recognised industry standards and best practice guidance.
As part of this course, delegates will cover a wide range of topics designed to build the practical skills, technical understanding, and confidence required to operate as an Authorised Person in Ventilation, with a primary focus on specialised healthcare environments such as hospitals, laboratories, and other critical care settings. The course has also been developed with alternative application in mind, meaning the skills and knowledge gained can be applied with confidence across other industries, sectors, and specific installations where mechanical ventilation systems play a critical operational or safety role.

Delivered by experienced industry trainers, the course combines theoretical learning with practical application, ensuring delegates leave not just with a certificate, but with a genuine working understanding of their responsibilities, the systems they will manage, and the governance required to maintain them safely and compliantly.
Course Learning Points
HX Training’s Authorised Person: Ventilation training course covers a range of learning points that the delegate will engage with throughout the programme.
These include:
- Gain knowledge on how to compile and maintain an Asset Register
- Understand how to set up, manage, and review a maintenance schedule
- Delegates will learn about the Principal and Sub-Components of Mechanical Ventilation Systems (MVS)
- Cover how to conduct Rounds on MVS, including identifying faults and non-conformances
- Learn about the documentation required for evidential governance when managing Specialised MVS
- This course covers the basic fluid mechanics, physics, and mathematics appropriate to an MVS setting
- Delegates will gain a reminder on workplace safety, including safe systems of work
- Gain an introduction to Managerial Methods, including delegation, reporting, and escalation procedures
Authorised Person Ventilation Course Information
Be introduced to necessary documentation and publications for framework governance for MVS:
- By the end of the course delegates will be able to identify appropriate available and frequently accessed documention.
- Delegates will also recognise the need to hold and produce certain types to State Actors
Delegates will learn certain elements of human behaviour and how knowing that people respond differently to different stimuli.
- As part of this learning objective, delegates will be able to demonstrate an awareness of there own governing principles, processing capability and drivers, whilst understanding the fact that other peoples might be different.
- Delegates will do some classroom exercises, and will be able to demonstrate some rudimentary Management Techniques
Be introduced to basic physics associated with Air, such as pressure, temperature and volume flow rate, to indicate its make-up and behaviour under certain environment conditions.
- During this course delegates will be able to show how to access, using a number of data pieces, an environmental volumes, both in current and required states.
Delegates will be also be introduced through the medium of fluid mechanics. Covering what makes a fluid a fluid, how its composed and the type of fluid influences system design
- At the end of this training delegates will be be able to show that they can distinguish between laminar and turbulent flow regimens, intensive and extensive fluid properties
- Delegates will also be able to demonstrate a working understanding of some of the more commonly applied formulae
Delegates on this course will be shown the context of how the technical, documentary and managerial data comes together in the healthcare or appropriate industrial sector.
- At the end of this ventilation course delegates will be able to demonstrate familiarity with appropriate and relevant system taxonomy and associated key values.
Delegates will get reminded on the obligations under the Healthy and Safety At Work (1974), and associated Statutory instruments
- As part of this course delegates will be able to demonstrate their statutory and mandatory obligations whilst in the role of being an authorised person in ventilation
- Gain knowledge on how to compile and maintain an Asset Register
- Understand how to set up, manage, and review a maintenance schedule
- Delegates will learn about the Principal and Sub-Components of Mechanical Ventilation Systems (MVS)
- Cover how to conduct Rounds on MVS, including identifying faults and non-conformances
