This training programme is now availiable 

Description 
The purpose of this programme is to introduce the theory, concepts and the science behind heat source pumps, including air-to-air, air-to-water and ground source heat pumps. It covers their workings, installation and how green funding can be accessed to accelerate their deployment.

This programme is suitable for learners with a interest in sustainable technologies and those who wish to develop the skills necessary for a career in this industry (including those learners studying engineering, plumbing, construction and multi-skills).

This programme is designed to be delivered as a stand-alone programme (e.g. For adults via AEB funding), or to run along-side other programmes of learning as part of a study programme.
