Mitsubishi Electric expands heat pump training

UK: Mitsubishi Electric is offering a comprehensive suite of LCL Awards-certified, Ofqual-accredited heat pump and low temperature heating training courses at its Hatfield training centre. 

Supporting the upskilling of heating professionals as the industry transitions to low-carbon solutions, Mitsubishi is offering three nationally recognised qualifications, which have been developed in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE), the Heat Pump Association (HPA) and the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

The courses are designed to equip experienced heating professionals with the knowledge, confidence and competency required to design, install and maintain low temperature heating and heat pump systems in domestic dwellings, in line with current and emerging industry standards.

Heating engineers could be eligible for a discount of up to £500 towards the cost of heat pump training.

The courses offered are:
Level 3 Low Temperature Heating and Hot Water Systems in Dwellings
This course is for delegates with two-to-three years’ experience in the heating sector. By the end of the course, they will have a good understanding of industry standards, regulations, system configuration design, enabling them to conduct room-by-room heat loss calculations, correctly size heat emitters, size pumps, pipework and domestic hot water systems.

Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Heat Pump Systems (Non-Refrigerant Circuits)
This three-day Level 3 course is aimed at professionals with a heating background seeking a nationally recognised qualification in heat pump installation and maintenance. Delegates who complete the course will achieve a full Level 3 LCL-accredited qualification, covering both theoretical knowledge and practical competency.

LCL Award – Water Regulations Certificate
This one-day course is for people who typically have a minimum of two years’ plumbing experience. It covers the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and is a prerequisite for several renewable technology qualifications, including the Level 3 Heat Pump Installation and Maintenance Award.

To find out more, interested people should register to learn about course availability, funding options and package deals at the Mitsubishi Electric Hatfield Training Centre. Installers who are part of the Mitsubishi Electric Partner Programme can claim training costs back from their Relationship Development Fund.
