|---|---|
| P600 Testing methods | £80 |
| P601 Examination and testing | £330 |
| P602 Design | £245 |
| P604 Commissioning and management | £245 |
Some training partners quote a different exam fee on their own pages. OXYL8, for example, lists £355 + VAT for P601. Check the total with your training partner before you book.

What HSE says
Is P601 a legal requirement?
No. When asked whether it requires LEV-related qualifications, HSE answers:
No. HSE mentions certain training courses in its guidance, as examples, but does not require suppliers to have these qualifications.
HSE also says a training course by itself will not make a person competent. Competence comes from knowledge, skills and experience together.

LEV training questions
How much does a P601 course cost?
Published P601 course fees run from £1,095 to £1,485 before VAT at the training partners that publish prices. The BOHS exam fee for 2026 is £330 on top. Prices checked on 20 October 2026.
How long is the P601 course?
BOHS says P601 typically runs over four days, with at least 24 hours of learning. Every training partner here that publishes a P601 length lists four days.
Do I need P600 before P601?
Not always. BOHS asks P601 candidates to know HSG258 and recommends P600 first for anyone without prior knowledge of LEV measurement.
Can I do P601 online?
Yes. OXYL8 runs it as a live webinar, and Vent-Tech and Gully Howard Technical offer it online. Ask how the practical parts are assessed before you book.
What is the difference between P602 and P604?
P602 covers designing LEV systems and is level 4. P604 covers commissioning a system and managing its performance, is level 5, and you must pass P601 before you attend it.
