For a limited period, plumbing and heating professionals in Nottingham are being offered the opportunity to access heavily discounted heat pump training. Delivered at Nottingham College by GTEC, a specialist in renewables training, the package of courses is available for just £140 (+VAT).
The package of courses consists of Air Source Heat Pump training, plus WRAS Water Regulations and Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating (the latter two qualifications are optional). All three courses have a value of £965 + VAT, but to take advantage of the discounted offer installers must complete the training by the end of March.
The heat pump training is designed for candidates with experience in the plumbing and/or heating sectors, such as gas installers and plumbers. Some candidates may already have the WRAS and energy efficiency qualifications, in which case they can just undertake the ASHP course. All three qualifications help to become part of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
GTEC’s Griff Thomas says: “End user demand is growing, spurred on by the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, a desire to ‘go green’ and reduce energy bills. At the moment, there are simply not enough trained engineers to meet the government’s target of 600,000 heat pumps installed annually by 2028. Plumbing and heating installers in Nottingham who take advantage of this heavily discounted training can take their place in this emerging marketplace, future proofing business’ as we move away from fossil fuels.”
The discounted training is only available to those who live within the NG1 to NG16 postcodes. For more information and to book, visit: https://gtec.co.uk/gtec-training-courses/renewable-training-courses/heat-pump-training-nottingham/
