Introduction to Heat Pump Technology

This course introduces heat pump technology to those with no prior experience. If you are an existing heating engineer currently installing and maintaining fossil fuel appliances, looking to install your first heat pump then this is an additional course offered prior to attending our product training.  

If you opt to attend this introduction course you will still need to complete the ‘Vitocal Air Source Heat Pumps’ (Day 2) to learn about the products, installation and commissioning.

If you are already fitting heat pumps, have knowledge of the technology and concepts then you may wish to consider attending just the ‘Vitocal Air Source Heat Pumps’ (Day 2).
