Legionella courses explained.
Responsible for water systems? These answers explain which legionella course matches your role.
The managers course suits responsible persons and duty holders writing risk assessments and control schemes. The operatives course suits those doing the practical work, including temperature monitoring, sampling, flushing and cleaning.
Duty holders must manage the risk from legionella under health and safety law, and the HSE expects those responsible to be competent.
The Approved Code of Practice L8 sets out what that means in practice, and while it does not name a specific qualification, training is the usual way an employer demonstrates competence, for managers and operatives alike. Lack of training is a recurring factor in legionella incidents and in the enforcement action that follows.

Landlords, facilities managers, care and healthcare providers, schools, and anyone maintaining hot and cold water systems. Plumbers and heating engineers also take it to offer water hygiene services alongside their existing plumbing work.
The LCL Awards Legionella Prevention and Water Treatment certificate is valid for five years, after which refresher training is recommended.
There is no fixed statutory renewal period for legionella training, but keeping knowledge current matters because guidance, British Standards and best practice all move. Many employers and accreditation schemes set their own refresher interval, so check what your organisation or main contractor expects.
Refresh through either the managers or operatives course, depending on your role.

No. Both courses focus on domestic and small commercial water systems in residential properties. They do not cover large commercial systems, water towers or cooling systems in depth.
That makes them right for landlords, housing associations, managing agents and the plumbers and heating engineers maintaining hot and cold water systems in homes. If you are responsible for evaporative cooling towers, industrial process water or complex healthcare systems, you will need specialist training instead.

Yes. Legionella training is frequently accepted as evidence of competence for SSIP accreditations including CHAS, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine.
Both courses lead to the LCL Awards Legionella Prevention and Water Treatment certificate, and cover risk assessment, water system disinfection using industry-approved methods, and the record keeping needed to demonstrate compliance under ACOP L8. That documentation is usually what an assessor asks to see.
Requirements differ between schemes, so confirm what yours accepts before booking.
