The Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (APHC) has teamed-up with Baxi to host a series of free technical workshops to be held at various locations across England and Wales.
The workshops will be geared towards the interests of plumbing and heating contractors, and due to differences in legislative developments there will be slightly different agendas for England and Wales.
English technical workshops
Topic 1 – Building Regulations Part L “The Future of Heat: Domestic Buildings”
In this seminar, industry experts will discuss significant changes due to be implemented later this year with regards to an increase in minimum efficiency of new boilers. This is a free workshop that aims to provide attendees with an understanding of the requirements of Part L, Building Regulations (England).
Topic 2 – Apprenticeship & Qualification Updates
APHC is looking to receive opinions during this workshop on content and structure of apprenticeships and qualifications.
