Heating season is near: boiler operators have passed their exam and started work
The training centre has trained new boiler operators and upgraded the qualifications of operators already on the job. Exam passed, certificates handed out, graduates employed — just before the heating season begins.
At the end of October, right before the heating season, a group of boiler operators completed their training at our centre. Some trainees were learning the trade from scratch, others were operators already working in boiler rooms who came to upgrade their qualifications. Theory, hands-on practice on the equipment, and a qualification exam at the finish.
The exam was taken before a board: each trainee answered questions on boiler design, safety automation, start-up and shutdown procedures and emergency actions, with shut-off valves and a pressure gauge on the table instead of a textbook. After the exam came the certificates: everyone now holds a document that entitles them to work in a boiler room.
The main result is that people are already working. Our graduates have been employed, and companies and housing associations got operators with valid certificates exactly when they are needed most. Congratulations to everyone who passed, and thank you to the employers who trust our centre.
It is not too late. The boiler operator course takes from one week and new groups start every month; for companies we train and assess their own staff and issue the documents. Call us or leave a request on the site and we will tell you the date of the next group.
