Over 1,000 people OFTEC heat pump trained
OFTEC has recently been notified from the certification bodies that over 1,000 technicians have now taken an OFTEC heat pump training course. With over 30 training centres in the UK now offering the heat pump training courses, there is plenty of opportunity to diversify and grow your business. Demand for heat pumps has increased since the Government announced that the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grants would increase to £7,500, so now is the perfect time to take full advantage with OFTEC’s heat pump training courses.

• OFT21-504A – Installation, commissioning and servicing of air source heat pumps.
• OFT21-504G – Installation, commissioning and servicing of ground source heat pumps.
