Vaillant unveils personalised heat pump programme

Vaillant Aspire is a comprehensive heat pump training programme that aims to upskill existing heating engineers to expand their business to offer the low-carbon technology.

The personalised learning programme blends online and hands-on, practical training at one of Vaillant’s six Centres of Excellence, to reduce the amount of time trainees need to take away from their business and their income. Heating engineers can diversify their business to install heat pumps to the required industry standards and, upon completion, they will be able to achieve MCS and NAPIT accreditation at a discount.

Each Aspire learning journey is personalised, depending on existing qualifications, starting with theory-based modules covering subjects from heat loss and system design, to commissioning the heat pump and setting up the controls.

It includes industry processes and procedures in the modular programme, such as how to put a quality management system in place, and showing your customer how to use a heat pump to heat their home.

These are essential modules that further support heating engineers to implement the necessary processes to join a Competent Persons Scheme or
