BOILER CERTIFICATE TRAINING
   
 
   

The "National Certificate Level 2 - Boiler Operation" course is a package of NZQA unit standards encompassing boiler technology, boiler operation, boiler feedwater treatment & legislative compliance (HSE Act, RMA & Boiler Code-of-Practice). The qualification is applicable to all industry sectors employing steam or hot-water boilers & ensures legislative compliance in most plants for attended (non-complex), limited-attendance & unattended operation. Note that the 20MW aggregate size constraint formerly associated with the Level 2 National Certificate no longer applies. Following a recent qualification review the operator certification recommendations are a function of the types of boilers employed & the complexity of the installation; size alone is no longer necessarily a determining factor.

Training is conducted over a 1-2 month timeframe utilising our award winning, interactive CD-ROM based self-study programs. The training program concludes with a 3-day block course providing intensive hands-on training & competency assessment by a NZQA qualified assessor. The CD-ROM based courses are self-paced & make extensive use of multimedia including video, audio narration & interactive environments. A virtual boiler room with gauge glass, boiler management & burner control simulators provides a realistic learning environment.

The block courses are conducted on sites with operating steam boilers, provide trainees with exposure to a real-world environment & are a mandatory requirement for trainees wishing to undergo competency assessment in order to achieve formal certification. Specialist trainers are brought in to cover specific areas where required

The training qualifies for a substantial Government sponsored industry-training subsidy subject to approval by an approved Industry Training Organisation (ITO). If you do not have a relationship with an appropriate ITO, I.Q. Technology can facilitate a formal proposal & subsidy application on your behalf.

Block courses are conducted at various locations, on-demand, throughout the year. Candidates are required to undertake some pre-course study & complete some written assignments prior to attending the block course so early booking is advisable. Laptop computers are provided for the block course but for sites that are unable to provide candidates with a multimedia computer for pre block course training (not mandatory), I.Q. Technology can arrange a pre-loaded laptop through a leasing company for $40 + GST per week. Note that although the CD-ROM option is strongly recommended, sufficient text-based resources are provided for those who prefer to study without a computer.
