Installers wanting to enhance their knowledge of heat pump technology will be pleased to know that NIBE Energy System’s flagship Heat Pump Training Academy in Chesterfield has now reopened following refurbishment.
The Worshipful Mayor of Chesterfield, Tony Rogers, was invited by UK MD Phil Hurley to officially open the refurbished facility on Friday 9th December. They were joined by NIBE’s UK employees and Stefan Nordenfors, Sales Director EMEA, at the unveiling event.
The Chesterfield Training Academy is set to play a key role in supporting the heat pump installer base, providing comprehensive installation and commissioning and service and maintenance courses, alongside NIBE Pro training. The RQF Level 3 Award in Heat Pump Technology provides training and requirements for MCS, is recognised by NAPIT and is LCL Awards approved, while the Ofqual regulated course forms part of the support provided on the NIBE Pro installer partnership scheme.
Partnerships between NIBE, colleges and other training centres have also been formed to boost access to training across the country for installers. These centres, alongside the Chesterfield site, will be at the forefront of levelling up installers to possess the in-demand skills needed to install heat pumps into new and existing homes in the coming years.
MD Phil Hurley comments: “We’re really excited to reopen this flagship NIBE Training Academy and were delighted to welcome attendees on Friday. We’ve been working hard to ensure the facility gives the best possible learning for installers so they can effectively and confidently install heat pumps right here in Chesterfield and across the UK.
“At NIBE we’ve started to address the gaps in industry training for heat pumps, through courses such as our MCS & NAPIT recognised NIBE Pro installer training. All our courses have a hands-on learning approach, facilitated by our new Academy’s working displays. We are looking forward to working with new and existing installers throughout their heat pump journey.”
NIBE’s training courses are now available to book online.
