Samsung opens training centre in Chertsey

UK: Samsung Climate Solutions is aiming to train around 1,000 installers over the next 12 months at its newest training facility in Chertsey, Surrey. 

The new 3,000ft2 (280m2) centre will cater to installers in the south of the country, complementing Samsung’s Manchester Training Centre opened last year.

The centre will provide heat pump and air conditioning installers with hands-on training in installation, commissioning and maintenance. The centre will also be a regional hub to connect installers in the area, and to meet Samsung’s team from sales representatives to technical after-sales support.

Facilities at the new centre include dedicated spaces to showcase Samsung’s latest products – including its WindFree air conditioning units, R290 Monobloc series of air-to-water heat pumps and new FN AI Home Controller – as well as its latest smart control solution including SmartThings and SmartThings Pro.

Samsung Climate Solutions technical trainer, Jaimeet Alang, delivers an installer training session

Face-to-face training sessions at the Chertsey Training Centre are now available to book through Samsung’s own training platform, the Samsung Business Academy. 

Samsung will also be offering bespoke training programmes, tailored to meet the wide variety of requirements, needs and skills required for today’s evolving HVAC technology and market. Training courses are open to apprentices and trainees as part of Samsung’s commitment to upskilling the next generation of installers.
