BOHS P904 - Management and control in leisure, display, therapy and other non-industrial systems is there to provide background and an overview of the risk of Legionella infection and how it can be controlled in leisure, display, therapy and other non-industrial water systems. It is a requirement of this course that candidates have successfully completed P901- Legionella- Management and Control of Building Hot and Cold Water Services [Syllabus GM.1]. Where both P901 and P904 courses are run on subsequent days or as a combined course then this pre-requirement is waived.

DESCRIPTION Marine Biology Diploma Marine biology is the study of living organisms in predominantly saline bodies of water, especially the ocean. Marine biology is different from marine ecology as the latter revolves around the interaction of organisms between themselves and the environment whereas the former focuses on the study of organisms themselves. A large percentage of all life forms on our planet survive in the ocean. The enormity of the oceanic population is still not well documented as there are many species in the ocean yet to be discovered. The ocean is a three-dimensional water body covering around 71% of the earth's entire surface. Marine life is a notable resource giving food, medicine and raw materials along with enhancement and support of tourism and other recreational activities all around the globe. Looking at the basic level it is not hard to understand that marine life plays a major role in determining the very nature of our planet. Marine organisms contribute greatly to the oxygen cycle and are very important in keeping the earth's climate regulated. Shorelines are partially affected and in a way protected by marine life forms. Certain marine organisms even play a part in creating new lands. Many marine species are of importance to humans economically and this mainly includes food fish, be it finfish or shellfish. It is now known that the well-being of marine organisms and other organisms are closely linked and that too at an elementary level. The course Marine Biology is of relevance today because the human body of knowledge regarding marine life and important natural cycles is rapidly growing. These cycles include those of matter like the carbon cycle, those of air like earth's respiratory cycle and the movement of energy between ecosystems including the ocean. New discoveries are being made every day and yet large marine areas still remain greatly unexplored. What You Will Learn 1: The Ocean as a Habitat 2: Patterns of Association 3: Phytoplankton groups 4: Marine Plants 5: Microbial Heterotrophs and Invertebrates 6:  Marine vertebrates - Fishes, Reptiles, Seabirds and Marine mammals 7: Estuaries 8: Coastal Seas, Coral reef 9: The open sea 10: The Deep Sea Floor  COURSE OUTCOMES After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college. ASSESSMENT Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to the next chapter. ACCREDITATION Elearn College is a registered Ed-tech company under the UK Register of Learning( Ref No:10062668). After completing a course, you will be able to download the certificate and the transcript of the course from the website. For the learners who require a hard copy of the certificate and transcript, we will post it for them for an additional charge.
