Course Overview

Legionella is a potentially deadly disease, typically found in man-made hot and cold water systems. 

This one-day training course will equip you with all the necessary skills to carry out inspections and produce professional Legionella reports for clients. Legionella assessors are currently in high demand, as property professionals seek qualified individuals able to advise them on how to manage the risk of the bacteria. 

The inspection is quick and easy to complete and can be carried out alongside existing work, with the added bonus of not requiring daylight hours in which to be completed. 

This course would benefit landlords and property proffessionals looking to carry out reports themselves, as well as energy assessors who wish to broaden their service offering.
