Delivered at The Building Performance Hub, the course brings together three essential modules: HETAS Core Knowledge, HETAS Chimneys &amp; Flues and HETAS Dry Appliance Installer, giving candidates a structured pathway from fundamental principles through to practical installation competence.<\/p>\n<p>The programme is designed to build confidence step by step. Learners begin with an understanding of combustion, ventilation and safety, before progressing into chimney and flue systems and finally developing the hands-on skills required to install and commission dry solid fuel appliances. On completion, candidates will have the knowledge required to progress within the HETAS training pathway and work safely within industry expectations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Core Knowledge Module (Day 1)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The Core Knowledge module introduces the essential principles that underpin all solid fuel appliance work. This includes a detailed understanding of combustion processes, ventilation requirements and the safe movement of products of combustion.\u00a0Learners explore how fuel type, environmental conditions and building characteristics influence appliance performance. The training also covers carbon monoxide awareness, commissioning checks and the role of chimney systems in maintaining safe operation.\u00a0This module provides the foundation needed before progressing to more practical installation-based training.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Chimneys &amp; Flues Module (Day 2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The Chimneys &amp; Flues module focuses on the correct design, installation and inspection of chimney and flue systems for solid fuel appliances.\u00a0Candidates develop an understanding of different chimney constructions, lining systems and connection methods, alongside the key safety considerations required to protect both the property and its occupants. The training also introduces inspection techniques and common faults such as poor draught and downdraughting.\u00a0This module supports learners in making informed decisions about chimney suitability and system performance in real-world installations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dry Appliance Installer Module (Day 3 &amp; 4)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The Dry Appliance Installer module provides practical training in the installation and commissioning of solid fuel appliances.\u00a0Learners gain experience in selecting appropriate appliances, calculating heat output requirements and understanding safe clearances from combustible materials. The course also covers flue integrity checks, installation hazards and the commissioning process, including inspection, airflow provision and system handover.\u00a0By the end of this module, candidates will be able to carry out installations confidently while ensuring compliance with relevant building regulations and manufacturer requirements.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who This Course Is For<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>This course is suitable for individuals entering the solid fuel sector, as well as existing heating engineers and installers looking to expand their scope of work. It supports those progressing through the HETAS pathway and anyone seeking recognised proof of competence for Competent Person Scheme registration.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Course Outcome<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>On completion of this combined programme, candidates will have a clear understanding of combustion principles, chimney and flue systems, and the practical skills required to install and commission dry solid fuel appliances safely and effectively.\u00a0The course provides a solid foundation for further specialist modules and supports progression towards HETAS registration.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Choose The Building Performance Hub<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Training is delivered in a controlled environment that combines classroom learning with practical application. This ensures candidates not only understand the theory but can apply it confidently in real installation scenarios.<\/p>\n<div id=\"hetasContent\" style=\"padding: 15px;\" hidden=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gain the essential skills required to work with solid fuel appliances through this comprehensive HETAS training package.
