Heating Design (LTHWS)

To be eligible to undertake Low Temperature Heating Design (LTHWS) training, you must hold one of the following: 

• N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Plumbing or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence; 
• N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Heating and Ventilating (Domestic Installation) or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence;
• N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Heating and Ventilating (Industrial and Commercial Installation) or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence; 
• N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Oil-Fired Technical Services or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence; 
• N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Gas Installation and Maintenance or equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence. 
• Heating installers with experience installing wet central heating systems, evidenced either by manufacturer courses certification or Gas Safe Register, OFTEC, MCS or HETAS registration 

Pre-requisites are not required where this qualification is delivered as part of a recognised training course in any of the above.

Earning the LTHWS qualification allows engineers to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of low-temperature heating and hot water requirements in domestic dwellings.

There is no specific expiry for the LTHWS qualification. However, the MSC, competent persons scheme or a trade association you obtain membership in may require renewal.

Our Low-Temperature Heating Design training takes place over two days. You will be required to be in the centre 8am-4pm.

Our Low-Temperature Heating Design course currently costs £300, including VAT.

Upon completing the course, you will have experience and knowledge of designing low-temperature heating systems.

Along with gas engineering and heat pump installation and maintenance qualifications, you will be able to work as a gas and heating engineer to help meet the demand for 600,000 heat pump installations each year – and create an eco-friendlier future.

Low Temperature Heating Design (LTHWS) training is available at three of the Options Skills training centres. Located in; Birmingham, Manchester, and South London.

We have new Low Temperature Heating Design Courses starting regularly, so you’ll never have to wait long to begin training with Options Skills.
