A new training facility has opened in County Durham to deliver qualifications in the installation, servicing and maintenance of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) and help tradespeople in the area take advantage of growing demand for low carbon heating. Based in Peterlee, Go Green Training is the brainchild of Brian Weir and Lee McCann, who have over 40 years of ASHP installation experience between them, and will be running courses that will lead to fully certified LCL Awards ASHP qualifications.
“We are on a mission to upskill installers in the North East with the training they need to take advantage of the expanding renewables sector,” says Brian (pictured above). “We want to be at the forefront of training the next generation of air source heat pump engineers across the North of England and Scotland.”
Tracy Harker, quality assurance and relationship manager at LCL Awards, adds: “We are delighted to be working with Go Green Training Academy and can see that their facilities offer a great learning environment. Lee and Brian are experienced trainers/assessors with a fresh approach to course delivery. There are plans in place to offer a range of renewable technology qualifications. We wish them every success with this new venture.”
Government funding is available for air source heat pump training and Go Green Training is in talks with several North East colleges with regards to incorporating this training into the curriculum of relevant courses.
Businesses and individual installers are invited to learn more about the facilities at Go Green Training at their forthcoming open day on Friday 25th March. The event is free to attend and can be booked on Eventbrite.
