Mitsubishi Electric has announced that its training centre in Hatfield has been approved as an LCL Level 3 training centre for air source heat pumps.
According to a company statement, installers who register for the LCL Level 3 training at the Hatfield Training Centre, and who meet the grant eligibility criteria, can benefit from a £500 grant to cover most of the training cost. On completion of the three-day course, installers will receive an LCL Awards Level 3 Certificate, which is recognised by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
Mitsubishi Electric is also offering a two-day training course in low temperature and hot water at its Hatfield centre.
Lance Hutchison, head of customer experience at Mitsubishi Electric, said: “We are thrilled to receive the LCL Level 3 accreditation. This recognition reinforces our commitment to sustainability and highlights the importance of equipping installers with the skills they need to drive the transition to renewable energy sources heating. There are great and growing opportunities for trained heat pump installers as the nation moves away from gas boilers.”
Mitsubishi Electric said its Hatfield Training Centre is equipped with the latest Ecodan heat pumps and is staffed by experienced trainers. The centre offers hands-on training sessions, classroom-based, including virtual reality technology and online learning.
