Are you looking to join the renewable energy revolution? Do you hold a Plumbing or Gas qualification, or have experience in a related industry? Then Activate Trade Training can get you qualified!
At Activate Trade Training we now have UK Government funding made available through the Heat Training grant.
“What’s the Heat Training Grant”?
‘….the new (UK Government funded) £5 million Heat Training Grant will support 10,000 trainees over the next 2 years to become low carbon heating experts – creating new green jobs and growing our economy in flourishing green industries. Grants of up to £500 will go towards training for the Air Source Heat Pump Low Temperature Hot Water System Design & Installation Courses. Funding is now available for both of these courses to the tune of £500 for each course.
What is the size of the opportunity for low carbon heating experts?
The government ‘expect at least 300,000 heat pumps a year to be manufactured in the UK by 2028 and there is already a strong pipeline of investment in UK heat pump and component manufacturing, worth up to £1 billion.’
Are we sure the qualification is going to prime you for new work in a low carbon, green energy, economy?
Consider this from the Government, when outlining the change needed over the next 5 years:
“The government’s £60 million Heat Pump Ready programme aims to develop innovative solutions to reducing barriers to the rollout of low carbon technology in homes and businesses across the UK.
The 4 Heat Pump Ready projects, 2 in Oxfordshire and one each in Bristol and Cambridgeshire have been successful in the second phase of funding. The innovation programme runs alongside the government’s £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme, that provides up to £7,500 grants to homeowners towards the cost of a heat pump, and a zero rate of VAT, making clean heating measures even more affordable for people looking to replace gas or oil boilers in their property.
Work on installing heat pumps purchased through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme has already begun. The government expects heat pump deployment to reach 600,000 per year in 2028, a tenfold increase from 2021.
To meet demand, the Heat Training Grant will provide heating engineers with grants of up to £500 each towards training for the following qualifications. Please click the link below to find out more and book up as soon as possible, as places for these funded courses are going fast:
