Legionella Awareness On-Site Training
1 Day Onsite Course – POA
Price includes City & Guilds Certification
This course can be delivered as an On-site Training Program, where our expert trainers come directly to your location. This approach provides delegates with hands-on experience using the equipment they are already familiar with, while eliminating the need to send them off-site for training. Our on-site training is priced for up to 5 delegates, with a discounted rate available for additional participants.
Legionella Awareness On-Site Training Course
This Legionella Awareness Training course, accredited by City & Guilds, is tailored for individuals working with hot and cold water systems who need a foundational understanding of Legionella, Legionnaires’ Disease, and related risk systems, in accordance with HSE’s ACoP L8 and HSG274 guidance. It is especially suited for landlords, business owners, facilities managers, and anyone tasked with the safe management of water systems. Please note, this course does not provide sufficient training for those appointed as responsible persons or duty holders. For more advanced qualifications, consider our Legionella Responsible Person Training or Legionella Responsible Person with Cooling Towers courses.
The Legionella Awareness course is delivered on-site, where one of our expert water instructors will visit your business premises. This approach provides the same high-quality training as in a classroom setting, but with the added benefit of hands-on experience using the equipment delegates work with daily. On-site training is priced for up to 5 delegates and offers significant cost savings if your company has multiple employees who need training. Delegates will still receive a City & Guilds Accredited Programme Certificate from on-site learning.
