H011 – Chimney Sweeping Course (Four Days)

The HETAS Sweeping course has been developed to allow candidates, who may wish to change careers or current, independent sweeps, a route to become a HETAS-approved sweeping and servicing technician.

HETAS is a leading name in the solid fuel industry – and becoming a HETAS-Approved Chimney Sweep can give your business a marketing edge with high recognition levels among consumers and therefore your prospective customers!

Optional Extra Practical Training Days

As well as the Training Centre-based H011 course, Mr Soot also offers candidates the chance to add optional ‘on the job’ training days. This will involve shadowing Mr Soot Sweep Technicians as they undertake appointments across the North West.

Mr Soot is one of the fastest growing chimney sweeping, inspecting and testing companies in the UK. Started by our owner David, it now employs staff and has expanded across the North West of England.
 
Dates for shadowing days are flexible and will be agreed with candidates separately. They will not take place during the centre-based training. Shadowing days do not form a mandatory part of the HETAS training criteria of any of the courses, so are entirely optional.
