We've launched a new Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) only course, meeting customer demand for training in the heat pump most relevant to the majority of installers and end users. A QCF Level 3 qualification, the course meets the latest MCS requirements.
Air source and ground source heat pumps (GSHP) are usually covered in one course, but recent comments from engineers revealed that many do not go on to deliver GSHPs; a technology best suited to large domestic properties with extensive land and customers with a sizeable budget.
Launched just in time for the introduction of the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), the new three day QCF Level 3 qualification will focus solely at the specification, survey, design and installation of domestic and small commercial ASHPs.
Mark Krull, Director at Logic4training explained: “Through our new air source heat pump only course, we are giving installers the opportunity to choose which technology they would like to specialise in, ensuring best use of their time and money.
“Thanks to the domestic RHI, ASHP popularity is set to soar; they are generally one of the more widely used renewable technologies because of their suitability for properties of various sizes, plus they deliver impressive fuel and efficiency.”
The new course covers systems with a designed heat output up to 45kWth and includes:
