Daikin opens Manchester training facility
15th January 2026
UK: Daikin UK has officially opened its new Manchester Training Academy to offer both Daikin product courses and industry-accredited heat pump training.
The academy’s new facilities feature three state-of-the-art training rooms equipped with the latest Daikin technology.
A standout addition is a realistic house frontage complete with a living room and airing cupboard, featuring a fully operational heating and cooling system. According to Daikin, this immersive setup will allow participants to practice installations in conditions that closely replicate actual domestic environments.
It also includes an interactive zone dedicated to virtual reality training and a wall of interactive controls, offering innovative learning methods that complement traditional hands-on instruction.
The academy will offer a range of training courses, including Daikin product courses and industry-accredited training for heat pump and renewables installers, social housing providers and developers. In addition, the academy also offers installation training on Daikin’s low temperature, high temperature, hybrid, and air-to-air cooling and heating solutions – starting at level 1 through to level 3 and service, fault finding and maintenance courses for different technologies.
The opening follows the recent signing of an MOU with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, part of a five-year collaboration agreement aimed at scaling up low-carbon heating across the city-region and delivering its 2038 carbon neutrality target.
