Alpha has launched two new training courses for 2012 and expanded the length of its training season.
The BPEC Energy Efficiency course is designed to provide existing installers with the expertise to advise customers on how to get the best from their central heating systems.

Said to be ideal for installers gearing up for the Green Deal, the course delivers an understanding of system layouts, controls and components, as well as advice on the best way to install a system to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations.

Following the training session, participants are assessed and completion will allow suitably qualified individuals to join competent person schemes, allowing self-certification and notification to local authority building control departments of work completed.

The second course is also a BPEC aimed at experienced plumbers who want to become approved contractors for water undertakers, local authorities and housing associations. Water Regulations and Water Byelaws covers 13 learning modules that cover everything from background to flushing devices and commissioning. Also suited to the course are those who inspect or design plumbing installations for compliance with current water regulations.
