Solid fuel and biomass organisation, HETAS, has announced the expansion of its network of registered training centres throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
Keen to equip installers and technicians with the correct training that aligns with the latest industry standards and legislation, HETAS has approved training centres across the breadth of the UK. The latest centre to join its network is the Mr Soot Training Centre based in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
Speaking on the launch of the new centre, David Soot, “Our business has always stood for professionalism and innovation; delivering what customers want and continually striving to raise standards.
“By unveiling of a modern, bespoke training centre, we have demonstrated our commitment to investing in both the local economy and future of our industry.”
The new centre joins 14 existing training facilities which all specialise in a range of training courses, business workshops and seminars for sole traders, micro businesses and SMEs.
All 15 HETAS accredited training centres offer courses which cover a wide range of topics, including appliance installation, maintenance and servicing, as well as the newly introduced Sweep and Service scheme.
Commenting on the need to meet consumer demands, CEO Bruce Allen said: “By diversifying their expertise to include solid fuel and biomass appliances, heating installers, sweeps and technicians alike can effectively address consumer preferences for greener alternatives. As the industry leading training provider, we want to ensure that only the best training centres offer our range of courses.”
