TrainME tool offers training pathway

UK: Mitsubishi Electric has launched TrainME, a new digital tool designed to provide installers, plumbers and engineers with a clear, structured pathway to becoming a professional heat pump installer.

By answering a small number of questions about their existing skills, experience and career goals, TrainME users receive a personalised training report. 

This report outlines recommended next steps, identifying the most relevant courses and qualifications required to move forward — whether that is entering the sector for the first time, building on existing heating experience, or working towards MCS accreditation.

In addition to tailored guidance, TrainME provides direct access to Mitsubishi Electric’s online training calendar, allowing users to view upcoming courses and book onto the next available training dates quickly and easily. 

Mitsubishi Electric says that the tool has been designed to support a broad range of professionals. Those exploring heat pumps as a potential career change can use TrainME to understand the training pathway ahead of them, while experienced plumbers and heating engineers can identify the most efficient route to upskill. Installers already working with heat pumps can also use the tool to ensure they are meeting industry requirements and progressing towards recognised accreditations such as MCS.

“As demand for heat pumps continues to grow, it’s vital that installers have access to clear, high-quality training pathways,” said Mitsubishi Electric’s head of product marketing and communications James Chaplen.

“TrainME has been developed to remove complexity and give professionals confidence in the steps they need to take. By combining personalised guidance with access to nationally recognised LCL courses and Ecodan training, we’re supporting higher standards and helping to build a skilled workforce ready for low-carbon heating.”
