According to new data from the Heat Pump Association (HPA), the industry&#8217;s skills base is experiencing &#8220;exponential growth&#8221; with the number of installers completing training programmes rising 166 per cent last year compared to the 3,000 who earned qualification certificates in 2022. Overall, it means the total number of newly-trained heat pump installers who have successfully completed certified training courses in the past two years reached just shy of 11,000 individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The HPA&#8217;s training working group chair, Laura Needham, said she expected the number of new installers to grow again this year as more people take advantage of government training grants and look to tap into the growing consumer appetite for heat pumps. &#8220;We are witnessing a pivotal moment in the shift towards the acceleration of heat pump deployment and the sector is leading the charge,&#8221; she said. &#8220;With the support of the government, the sector is investing in building a strong foundation to train the workforce needed to meet our net zero targets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This strong increase in trained heat pump installers demonstrates change is afoot. Having a qualified, competent and committed heat pump installer network is vital to the success of meeting the government&#8217;s net zero targets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The HPA has projected the UK needs the equivalent of 33,700 qualified, full-time heat pump installers to support the transition to clean heating systems in line with government targets, which include a goal for 600,000 installations across the country annually by 2028. Yesterday&#8217;s data from the HPA does not identify whether all newly-qualified heat pump installers are still working in the sector, however.<\/p>\n<p>But it said the growing number of people training as a heat pump installer was &#8220;a testament to the work of training providers, heating engineers and manufacturers in the supply chain&#8221;, as well as support from government heat pump grants and green skills training schemes. It highlighted in particular the government&#8217;s skills bootcamps, Home Decarbonisation Skills Training Competition, and the current Heat Training Grant, from which it said many of the newly-trained 11,000 installers would have received grants.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat Pump Training Grant alone is expected to support around 6,000 additional heat pump trainees in England over the next 13 months, it said. Amanda Solloway, Minister for Affordability and Skills at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), also welcomed the increased demand for heat pump training courses over the past couple of years.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4181808\/heat-pumps-industry-hails-exponential-growth-newly-qualified-installers-2023\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4181808\/heat-pumps-industry-hails-exponential-growth-newly-qualified-installers-2023\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/heat-pumps-industry-hails-exponential-growth-in-newly-qualified-installers-in-2023\/\">Heat pumps: Industry hails &#8216;exponential growth&#8217; in newly qualified installers in 2023<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7016,2278,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-126615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-heat-pump","tag-industry","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126615\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
