Primary ITO is launching online training for boiler operators enrolled in Level 3 training, providing greater flexibility and accessibility for learners and employers.
Learners can now access an online learning platform to view learning resources, upload documents and photos, and submit assessments for marking. They can choose to learn online or through the traditional paper-based resources, depending on their preferred style of learning.
Online learning is available for:

- Introduction to Energy and Chemical Boiler Limited Credit Programme – Level 3
- Person Responsible EnChem Micro-credential – Level 3
The energy and chemical process (Enchem) qualifications have recently been reviewed in consultation with industry. New learning resources have been developed that cover essential knowledge, skills, and best practice in the sector, alongside the option of online learning at Level 3.
Primary ITO sector manager Tanya Ingram says online learning provides more flexibility for industry.
Boiler operations training is useful for anyone working with or overseeing boiler operations in any environment including energy and power generation, manufacturing and food processing, hospitals and schools.
The Level 3 training provides introductory knowledge of health, safety and regulatory requirements of the industry, knowledge of drawings, instrumentation and thermodynamics of the industry, and plant and equipment operation – including steam generation and combustion, and boiler operation and monitoring.
