1 Day
Course Overview
The boiler operator course covers steam principles and boiler operation in the form of a presentation; a multiple choice test to confirm an understanding of the course; the principal operation of controls and test equipment (using customer’s own boiler where possible); and an observational assessment using test papers.

Our Steam Boiler Operator training course supports compliance with BG01 Edition 2 (SAFed) and HSE INDG-436.

We recommend that where delegates require practical familiarisation with steam boiler best practise, our Steam Boiler Operator - Safe Working Practices course is booked in conjunction with this course.

It also includes; operation, daily/weekly routine maintenance, health & safety and legislation

Note: It is recommended that candidates take a refresher course after 3 years to receive re-certification, as advised by City & Guilds.
