The legionella training covers the whole subject from a duty holder's point of view, across five modules. You start with what legionella is, where it comes from, how people contract Legionnaires' disease, the symptoms, and who is most at risk. Then you move into the legal responsibilities of duty holders under Irish law, including registering cooling towers with the local authority and reporting work related cases of legionellosis to the Health and Safety Authority, followed by the man-made water systems that pose risks: evaporative cooling systems, hot and cold water systems, spa pools and more.

The final modules are fully practical: the five step legionella risk assessment, from identifying hazards to monitoring and review, and the control measures that keep water systems safe, including the role of the competent person, the written control scheme, storage temperatures, weekly flushing of vacant properties, cleaning, disinfection and record keeping. Pass the online assessment and your legionella training certificate downloads instantly. CPD Certified and RoSPA approved.

The final assessment has 15 multiple choice questions, each with three answers to choose from. You need at least 12 correct out of 15, which is a 75% pass mark.

There is no time limit, and if you do not pass first time you can retake the test for free as many times as you need. Your legionella training certificate is issued instantly once you pass.

Duty holders in Ireland must identify and control biological hazards such as legionella under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Chemical Agents Regulations 2001, and the Code of Practice for the Prevention and Control of Legionellosis sets out exactly how: a legionella risk assessment carried out by a competent person, a written scheme for controlling the risks, registration of cooling towers and evaporative condensers, and reporting work related cases of legionellosis to the Health and Safety Authority. The Act also requires employers to provide the information, instruction and training people need to work safely.

This accredited legionella course is exactly that training, aligned with the Irish framework. Our certificate carries a unique verification code, so employers, auditors and insurers can confirm it in seconds.

Anyone in charge of premises with water systems that could pose legionella risks, no matter how big or small: employers, self-employed people, landlords and letting agents, facilities and maintenance managers, and owners or managers of hotels, gyms, spas, care homes, schools and offices. If your premises has hot and cold water systems, showers, a cooling tower, a spa pool, misting devices or even decorative fountains, you are a duty holder.

The course is written at an introductory level, so no previous knowledge is required. Many organisations assign it to facilities and maintenance staff as part of their water safety programme, and landlords take it to understand exactly what the law expects for their rental properties.

Around 2 hours of focused study finishes the legionella training online. It is fully self paced, so you can split it across breaks or days, and your progress saves automatically on every device.

Your legionella training certificate generates the instant you pass, ready to download, print or email. No classroom day, no travel, no waiting.

Valid for 3 years from your pass date, in line with best practice for refresher training in Irish workplaces. The expiry date is printed on the legionella training certificate itself.

Renewing means logging back in, completing the refreshed course and downloading the new certificate on the spot. The Employer Dashboard warns you before anyone on the team lapses, keeping the training record always ready.

Yes, and that is one of the most important parts. Landlords and letting agents are duty holders too: anyone in control of premises with water systems has a duty to assess and control legionella risks so tenants are kept safe.

The course covers the risks in domestic hot and cold water systems, why stagnant water in vacant properties is one of the biggest risk factors, the weekly flushing routine that keeps outlets safe between tenancies, sensible temperature settings for calorifiers and taps, and the simple checks and records that keep a rental property compliant. It also explains when specialist help from a water treatment company is the right call.

Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by legionella bacteria. People catch it by inhaling fine droplets of water, aerosols, that contain the bacteria, from sources like showers, taps, cooling towers, spa pools and misting devices. It does not spread from person to person, and it is treated with antibiotics, but it regularly puts people in hospital and can be fatal for the most vulnerable.

Legionella bacteria occur naturally in rivers and lakes in low numbers, but they multiply quickly in man-made water systems where the temperature sits between 20°C and 45°C, water stagnates, or sludge, rust and scale provide nutrients. People with compromised immune systems, older people, smokers and those with existing lung conditions are most at risk, which is exactly why the law places the duty on whoever controls the premises. The course turns all of this into recognisable, everyday examples, so you always know where the risks are and what to do about them.
