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:
  • Regulations and guidance
  • Principles of ASHP operation
  • Collector types and heat distribution
  • Design and sizing
  • Pre-installation requirements
  • Materials and methods
  • Commissioning, servicing and fault-finding
The new course is also covered by the RHI Training Support Voucher scheme, meaning installers can get a sizeable discount of the cost of this and other heat-based renewable training available through Logic4training – 75% or £500 off the price. Vouchers are still available at the time of writing but funding is running out fast, visit www.rhitraining.co.uk to apply. Assessment is both practical and written. The course does not cover filling, evacuation or breaking of the refrigerants circuits; this should only be carried out by a qualified refrigeration engineer.
