Due to the increasing complexity of biomass appliances & heating systems HETAS has introduced a dedicated biomass training course to meet the demand from installers. The course covers appliances up to 45KW intentionally but the training may be appropriate for the installation of appliances up to 100KW including woodburning stoves, log boilers, pellets boilers and wood chip boilers.
The HETAS H005 – Biomass course mixes theory and practical sessions and covers:
- Carrying out feasibility studies
- Offering advice on fuel type and storage options
- Carrying out system design
- Marketing and grants for biomass systems
- Commissioning of biomass systems
- Maintenance of biomass systems
Successful completion of the biomass course allows HETAS registrants to extend their registration categories to include installation of wood pellet stoves and mechanically fed biomass appliances. The HETAS H005 biomass course also provides evidence of competence to meet Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) requirements.
The course does not cover areas that form part of the main prerequisites.
