Our Heat Metering and Data Collection Equipment Course aims to provide the niche skills and knowledge required by individuals for working with heat metering and data collection equipment. It will be a single day training aimed at complementing the skills of existing M&E professionals.
Experience with, and knowledge of heat metering and data collection systems is not widespread, which often requires heat network operators to rely on individuals with general M&E skills for installation or maintenance of metering systems. This often results in quality issues affecting metering data or requiring follow up works.
Our training course focuses on elements that are particular to heat metering and data collection equipment, which can then be combined with an individual’s existing practical skills to enable reliable and competent installation or maintenance of heat network metering equipment.
We’re also proud to announce that our Heat Metering and Data Collection Equipment Course has achieved CPD certification, demonstrating our commitment to high-quality, continuous professional development.
