Our Ground and Air Source Heat Pump course covers domestic and commercial applications of ground and air source technologies and the requirements for application to the MCS.
Heat pump training, when combined with Low-Temperature Heating Design, allows successful learners to design, specify, install and maintain low-temperature heating systems incorporating heat pumps.
The Ground and Air Source Heat Pump course is a five-day course for experienced plumbers and heating engineers.
WHY EARN GROUND AND AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP QUALIFICATIONS?
As the heating industry evolves, engineers must have a broader range of skills. With the government’s target to install 600,000 heat pumps each year, gas engineers and plumbers are being called upon to upskill and help to meet the demand.
Throughout the training, you’ll cover everything from the health and safety standards to requirements of how to plan, install, inspect, and service ground-source and air-source heat pumps.
The Installation & Maintenance of Ground and Air Source Heat Pump course is £750, including VAT.
