Training and Registration
OFTEC Training Centres set the standard Customers choose registered OFTEC suppliers because they trust the OFTEC symbol as a sign of high quality workmanship.
OFTEC offer a wide range of courses for oil firing technicians. OFTEC training and registration are recognised as professional standards throughout the industry.
The Oil Firing Technical Association for the Petroleum Industry was launched in April 1991 to construct a framework within which oil firing in the United Kingdom and Republic Of Ireland could operate with a greater degree of technical expertise and efficiency. One of its first priorities was to set up a system of training and registration for Technicians engaged in commissioning, servicing, installation and plant operation with oil firing equipment. The scope of the scheme has since been extended to cover Technicians engaged in oil delivery.
OFTEC tests and approves oil-firing equipment, and represents the industry in discussions with regulatory agencies. OFTEC’s Codes of Practice set standards for the industry, and are followed by its Members and Registered Technicians.
