Heat Pump Installation

The LCL Awards, Level 3 Award in Heat Pump Systems (non-refrigerant circuits) Installer training course is designed for qualified plumbers, heating engineers, oil engineers, or gas engineers who wish to install Heat Pump Systems and hold a recognised NVQ Level 2/3 or earlier equivalent qualification.  In addition, if not included within the formal qualification, the individual MUST hold Water Regulations/Bylaws certificates.

 

The programme is structured to be completed in:

 

  • Heat Pump Technology (2days) and Air Source (1day) Total = 3 days,
  • Heat Pump Technology (2days) and Ground Source (1day) Total = 3 days,
  • Heat Pump Technology (2days), Air Source (1day) and Ground Source (1day) Total = 4 days

Low-carbon heat pumps are critical technologies for decarbonising heat. To meet the UK’s legally-binding climate targets, thousands more heating engineers will need to learn to install and maintain these technologies.

The Heat Training Grant supports trainees in England taking short training courses relevant to heat pumps and heat networks. Trainees can receive grants of up to £500 towards eligible courses.

The Heat Training Grant is funded by UK Government. You can find out more about the grant here:
