Having set up and run successful plumbing and heating business for over 15 years, Mark Ongley has seen first-hand that the need for good quality training in the area.
And after setting up Mr Plumber Training Centre, Mark, CEO and director, approached Alpha Heating Innovation for support.
The new centre offers gas assessments and training towards qualifications such as NVQs through both hands-on and classroom teaching. Typically, students enrolled on courses are either re-training for a career change or are just starting out in the industry. However, Mark believes that training should be a continuous process, so refresher courses and advanced training sessions are also available.
Alpha has provided boilers and boiler parts for the hands-on element of the training.
Richard Eldridge, Alpha’s technical sales manager for Kent, said: “We have provided a range of boilers so that the students become comfortable working with a variety of models. By giving them the opportunity to become experienced in our technology, we are ensuring a high standard of service later down the line.”
