Course will bridge the green skills gap

UK: Daikin UK has partnered with training provider the Quantum Group to launch an introduction to green technology as a new City & Guilds-assured training course.

The Sustainable Energy Technologies course will teach students about fossil fuels and their impact on the environment, find out about energy supply and sources, legislation, building guidance and regulations, and gain knowledge of greener energy solutions such as air-source heat pumps.

This theoretical understanding will then lead to hands-on practical sessions with air-source heat pumps using Quantum’s state-of-the-art training booths, where installation and maintenance procedures can be simulated.

The course is due to be rolled out as part of a pilot scheme in September 2023 at New City College’s Hackney and Rainham campuses in London.

Further details and applications for the Sustainable Energy Technologies course can be found here.
