NIBE Energy Systems’s flagship Heat Pump Training Academy in Chesterfield has reopened after a major refurbishment.
Last week NIBE’s UK employees along with Phil Hurley, pictured right, UK managing director, and Stefan Nordenfors, sales director EMEA, were joined by The Worshipful Mayor of Chesterfield Tony Rogers, pictured left, and his wife Mayoress Sharon Rogers for the unveiling of the newly refurbished centre.
NIBE’s latest products were showcased at the event – including the S2125 Air Source Heat Pump, which uses a natural refrigerant for a low environmental impact.
Visitors also viewed NIBE’s PV-T panels, which transform ground source heat pumps into multi source heat pumps.
The Chesterfield Training Academy, along with other current and planned NIBE centres, will support the heat pump installer base, providing comprehensive installation and commissioning and service and maintenance courses, alongside the industry leading NIBE Pro training.
The RQF Level 3 Award in Heat Pump Technology provides training and requirements for MCS, is recognised by NAPIT and is LCL Awards approved. The Ofqual regulated course forms part of the support provided on the NIBE Pro installer partnership scheme, the company explained.
Phil Hurley, managing director at NIBE Energy Systems, said: “We’re really excited to reopen this flagship NIBE Training Academy and were delighted to welcome attendees on Friday. We’ve been working hard to ensure the facility gives the best possible learning for installers so they can effectively and confidently install heat pumps right here in Chesterfield and across the UK.
“At NIBE we’ve started to address the gaps in industry training for heat pumps, through courses such as our MCS & NAPIT recognised NIBE Pro installer training. All our courses have a hands-on learning approach, facilitated by our new Academy’s working displays. We are looking forward to working with new and existing installers throughout their heat pump journey.”
