Legionella Awareness Training - Guernsey 2018

The courses we offer are flexible, ranging from basic onsite training with a brief introduction to Legionella awareness to more in-depth Management of Legionella Control for Duty Holders and Responsible Persons. We are also happy to discuss the relative benefits of both CIBSE (CPD) Accredited and City and Guilds assured courses that we offer to suit the specific training requirements of you/your organisation.

We are well recognised for the quality of our regular training events across the UK, as well as a range of bespoke courses to suit specific needs.

SMS training fulfils requirements for those responsible for having introductory knowledge on Legionella and Legionnaires’ disease or can equally be used as a refresher to previous training, covering all aspects of controlling Legionella in water systems.

Training Course Types

CIBSE CPD Courses

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a longterm commitment. It refers to the ‘systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills'. It is about learning and putting into practice new competences year after year, and investing in your future. All seminars/courses are reviewed and assessed by CIBSE to ensure that the technical content is of a high standard and offers valuable CPD to delegates.

City & Guilds Assured

Assured is a joint service between City & Guilds and ILM, which recognises excellence in training programme
delivery. It ensures that you can have the confidence and reassurance that your training will meet best practice standards and provides additional credibility when scrutinised by the regulator or inspection body.

We offer a number of pre-defined courses that help organisations maintain suitable training levels across multiple staff roles involved in the management of legionella and its control.

In addition to legionella awareness and responsible persons training we offer a number of additional theoretical/practical courses to support self-delivery of services by onsite staff which are aimed to increase organisational control and deliver long term cost savings to your organisation's management of legionella.
