Are you new to the world of pumping technology? Or perhaps you only work with pumps occasionally and need a refresher? Our E-learning course covers the basics of pumping technology and is specifically designed for those who are new to pumps or have limited experience with them.

Independently accredited and quality-controlled by the NOCN these courses are offered in accordance with Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation). It is thought to be the first such accreditation for the pump sector globally.

The initiative also forms part of the UK government’s educational framework.
