Air Source Heat Pump & Low Temp Heating
Fully Funded Heat Pump Training
Gain two in-demand renewable heating qualifications in just 4 days, fully funded through the UK Government’s Heat Training Grant. This course gives you the skills to design, install and optimise air source heat pump and low temperature heating systems, helping you tap into the growing low-carbon market and future-proof your business.
The UK is rapidly moving away from fossil fuels, with heat pumps playing a key role in future heating systems. Through the government-backed Heat Training Grant, installers can now upskill at no cost, but funding is limited.
