Course overview
Created to give designers the skills and knowledge needed to correctly design warm water underfloor heating systems, this course has been developed alongside the Underfloor Heating Manufacturers’ Association (UHMA) with the aim of it being recognised as a demonstration of competence.
This course consists of reading a training/reference manual before taking part in a 2-day practical training session which includes written assessments.
Assessments normally consist of a combination of practical and theory examinations.
