| Assessment Information | Designed to give installers and designers the skills and knowledge required to correctly install and/or design warm water underfloor heating systems, this course has been developed with the Underfloor Heating Manufacturers’ Association (UHMA) with the intention of it being recognised as a demonstration of competence. It consists of a training/ reference manual to be read before a 2-day practical training session and completion of written assessments. |
