The supplier of sustainable heating technology has pumped £350,000 into the new facilities, designed to provide new and existing installers with the tools needed to excel.
Based at its UK headquarters in Bromborough, Wirral, the 280m2 training area has capacity to accommodate up to 16 professionals-to-be.
Fitted with the company’s latest equipment for trainees to get to grips with, it hopes the investment will spark a rise in installers as the UK transitions towards renewable heating solutions.
The company has seen a rise in demand for heat pumps, with the manufacturer reporting a 70% increase in heat pump sales, when compared to last year.
Mark McManus, Managing Director, Stiebel Eltron UK said: “It’s a really exciting time for the heating industry with demand for heat pumps only increasing. As a result, the UK is going to need the best installers possible.
“We started this project with the goal to create a training area which is second to none and inspires people to become heat pump installers. We’re pleased to say we’ve delivered this with a state-of-the-art facility which covers everything needed for prospective installers to learn their trade.
“But it’s our support package which really sets it apart. Not only do we ensure all trainees are equipped with the expertise and knowledge to excel in the industry, we make sure everyone on our courses receive technical support and advice which goes well beyond their training so they can meet any challenge in their line of work head-on.”
