Course Overview
Legionella is a potentially deadly bacteria, typically found in man-made hot and cold water systems.
This online training course from Elmhurst will equip you with all the necessary skills to undertake inspections and produce professional Legionella reports for clients. You can undertake this course at any time from the comfort of your home or office.
Legionella Risk Assessors are currently in high demand, as landlords and property agents seek qualified individuals able to advise them on how to manage the risk of the bacteria.
The assessment is quick and easy to complete and can be carried out alongside existing work, with the added bonus of not requiring daylight hours in which to be completed. We recommend this course for landlords and property professionals looking to control the risk of legionella in their own properties, as well as Energy Assessors who wish to broaden their service offering.
