OFTEC 50 Courses
OFTEC 50 Training Courses
As burner manufactures we believe that we can give new entrants into the oil industry a far more comprehensive training experience.
This is a practical course designed for operatives lacking or with no experience of domestic oil installations. This course is designed to give more intensive and detailed practical training than the standard courses, which are aimed at experienced operatives.
The aim of each part of the course is that the candidate will reach the required standard to enable them to undertake the standard assessments.
The main aim of the course is to ensure that the delegate has a solid background and enough practical knowledge in oil to perform the everyday tasks of a competent oil operative.
