Course Duration - 2 Days

The Domestic & Commercial LPG Vapour Refresher Course is designed for experienced LPG practitioners who need to keep their technical knowledge current and reinforce safe, compliant working practices.

The course focuses on important developments, recurring industry issues and areas where practitioners commonly need updated understanding. It revisits key technical topics including ventilation, pipe sizing, pressure testing, flue gases, altitude, press-fit systems, site auditing and everyday LPG safety.

The programme is reviewed and updated annually so that the content continues to reflect changes in standards, industry practices, technical developments and relevant occurrences within the LPG industry.

This programme is suitable for:

• experienced domestic and commercial LPG practitioners

• installers wanting to refresh and update their technical knowledge

• technicians working with LPG vapour systems

• personnel responsible for inspecting or auditing LPG installations

• practitioners who need to remain informed about developments in standards and industry practice

• professionals returning to LPG work after a period away from the industry

The refresher programme focuses on current and practical areas of LPG installation knowledge, including:

• important updates and developments affecting domestic and commercial LPG installations

• ventilation requirements and calculation methods

• pipe-sizing principles and practical calculation techniques

• pressure-testing requirements and the importance of accurate testing

• flue gases, combustion products and the risks associated with inadequate removal

• common safety concerns encountered in LPG vapour installations

• the effects of altitude on gas systems and appliance performance

• the correct application of press-fit fittings and piping systems

• recognising common installation faults and areas of concern

• conducting structured LPG installation site audits

• identifying potentially unsafe or non-compliant conditions

• maintaining good installation, testing and documentation practices

Because the programme is reviewed annually, specific topics may be updated to reflect changes, developments and recurring concerns within the LPG industry.

The course can be delivered online or in person, providing flexibility for both individual learners and organisations.

Online delivery allows participants to complete the refresher training remotely through structured instructor-led sessions, technical presentations, worked examples and interactive discussion.

In-person delivery provides face-to-face instruction and allows for additional practical demonstrations, technical discussion and scenario-based learning where appropriate.

Training may include:

• instructor-led technical presentations

• discussion of changes to relevant standards

• calculations and worked examples

• analysis of real-world installation scenarios

• examination of common installation faults

• pressure-testing and ventilation examples

• site-auditing principles

• safety and compliance case studies

• discussion of recent LPG industry developments, incidents and lessons learned

The emphasis is on ensuring that experienced practitioners leave the programme with refreshed knowledge and a stronger awareness of current LPG industry requirements and good practice.

The course culminates in a formal assessment that learners are required to pass.

The assessment is designed to confirm that participants understand and can apply the key technical, safety and compliance principles covered during the refresher programme.

Assessment may include:

• technical course knowledge

• calculations

• interpretation and application of relevant requirements

• practical installation scenarios

• safety and compliance considerations

• identification of faults or areas of concern

• understanding of current industry practices

Successful completion requires the learner to achieve the required standard in the final assessment.

The refresher course can also be delivered to businesses, technical teams, industry organisations and other groups that need to maintain and update the knowledge of their LPG personnel.

Group training can be delivered online or in person, depending on the requirements and location of the organisation.

Where appropriate, additional emphasis can be placed on:

• recurring issues identified within an organisation

• specific installation environments

• changes in technical standards

• site-auditing requirements

• workforce knowledge gaps

• recent incidents or industry lessons

• particular technical areas requiring refresher training

This makes the programme suitable for both individual continuing development and structured organisational refresher training.
