However, by undertaking this course you will no longer need to contact your local Building Control Officer to approve your work.

On successful completion, you will have the recognised competencies to design, install, service and maintain unvented systems.

This means you can self-certify your work, which is a more cost-effective route as compared to notifying building control bodies.
