Baxi has opened its new 10,000 sqft Solutions Academy at its Warwick HQ, increasing its annual installer training capacity on the site from 600 delegates in 2023 to 2,000 in 2025.
For the first time, a Baxi training facility will have a dedicated solutions training room, allowing installers to get hands on with Baxi’s complete residential and commercial product portfolio under one roof.
The extensive new facility also includes a fully equipped digital studio to support the company’s new e-learning platform, to be launched later this year. The company says installers will benefit by being able to access live virtual training and pre-learning, as well as being able to extend their in-person training with follow up out-of-class sessions delivered to enrich their overall learning experience.
Baxi says the digital platform will give greater accessibility to its content and will allow people to move forward in their careers at their pace and convenience.
Baxi is expanding its nationwide team of 10 expert trainers, operating out of our four wholly owned facilities and 13 satellite centres based in third-party education facilities. It expects to have the capacity to physically train 10,000 installers a year by 2025, with an additional 5,000 installers benefiting annually through Baxi’s e-learning platform.
Ian Trott, Baxi’s Head of UK Training Solutions said: “I’m excited about the future – not just because of our fantastic new training solutions centre in Warwick, but because of our opportunity in supporting commercial sector skills through a dedicated solutions room in Warwick.”
The company’s new focus on solutions training, alongside its traditional product training, is expected to be replicated in Baxi’s other main training centres in Warrington, Dartford and Dublin. “Our Warwick investment is important because it’s the blueprint of what we will do in the future.” Ian continued.
