Ventilation & Air Balancing
Split across five detailed modules, our Ventilation & Air Balancing course is perfect for those working on ventilation systems in the marine industry.
£295.00
Our Ventilation & Air Balancing Course is essential for anyone working on ventilation systems in the marine or offshore industry.
From regulations and understanding basic HVAC systems through to ventilation system components and more; this course is perfect for students who prefer to learn at their own pace in a remote setting.
You’ll learn using study guides and quizzes across five modules, resulting in a Tradewinds Certificate on successful completion.
Each module has an exam that must be passed before moving on to the next topic.
The exam questions are multiple choice and students will need to complete written calculations to be able to determine the correct answers.
A pass rate of 60% must be achieved in all exams to successfully complete the course.

Josh (store manager) –
A well-planned and informative course with interesting modules that covered everything I hoped they would. I definitely feel more confident with ventilation systems now.
Chris Rogers (store manager) –
The modules on fan systems and ventilation components were really helpful and I learned a lot from this course. The option to complete the course remotely worked great for my busy schedule at sea and I was able to take my time without pressure. The certificate received at the end was great too and I’ve already recommended the course to colleagues and friends in the industry.
Scott (store manager) –
Brilliant course for engineers looking to improve their skills in offshore HVAC. I finished the course in less than a week alongside long work shifts and found it really easy to follow. The modules are laid out nicely and the exam at the end was great. I learned a lot so it was definitely good value for money, thank you.
