Ideal offers online heat pump course
2nd September 2024
UK: Ideal Heating has launched a free and comprehensive online introduction to heat pumps course.
The new digital On Demand course, Introduction to Air Source Heat Pumps, is described as the perfect first step for those interested in learning about the technology.
Developed in partnership with BPEC, it covers everything from why heat pumps are a great choice, how they work, where they can be fitted and how they are controlled.
It is said to be suitable for many people across the industry including existing heating engineers, newly-qualified engineers, apprentices, industry partners such as merchants, specifiers and more.
“The launch of this new on-demand style will allow more people to access free content to continue their lifelong learning,” commented Ideal Heating’s training director Andrew Johnson.
The Introduction to Air Source Heat Pumps course is live now, and is recommended to take between two and three hours to complete.
It features 11 modules, with subjects including the different types of air source heat pumps, how refrigerants work, electrical considerations, controls, frost protection and funding.
Each module is said to have been produced as a bitesize style video, providing participants with an immersive and engaging style of training whilst allowing them to learn at their own pace.
The course can either be completed in one go, or in sections, with participants having the flexibility to jump in and out of modules as needed. Content also remains available after completion, and can be referred back to.
Learners will be asked questions as the modules progress to ensure understanding whilst aiding memory retention, with an optional assessment at the end.
After completing the course, installers who wish to further their knowledge can register for a range of in-person courses, where they will have the opportunity to work hands-on with heat pumps and gain qualifications and product training on Ideal’s Logic Air and HP290 models.
The Introduction to Air Source to Heat Pumps course is available to enrol for now.
