Glow-worm, the heating manufacturer, is helping installers to stay ahead of the game, with the launch of a series of new heat pump training courses.
The courses will be held at Glow-worm’s centres of excellence based around the UK and will provide installers with everything they need to know to recommend, specify, install and maintain air source heat pump systems.
Those installers looking to enter the heat pump market for the first time can take advantage of Glow-worm’s introductory course, which covers topics such as the benefits of using heat pumps, how to identify suitable specifications, energy legislation and the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). Installers who already have an understanding of the market and want to expand their knowledge further can register for the level one programme which provides key areas like system design, installation and includes hands on training with the current Glow-worm Clearly range of heat pumps and controls. Those who complete level one can then opt into a level two advanced course covering more complex system design, diagnostics and maintenance.
Installers who successfully complete the relevant levels will then be in with a chance of becoming an accredited Glow-worm installer.
Gregg Cole, commercial director at Glow-worm, said: “At Glow-worm we know from our customers that the heat pump market is a growing one, which is why we wanted to develop a training programme that helps to equip them with all the knowledge they need to take advantage of the opportunities it presents.
“Each of our courses has been carefully tailored to address the specific opportunities and issues that installers are facing, whatever their level of experience with heat pumps. Places on the courses are limited, so we encourage anyone who would like to find out more to register their interest now.”
