CIBSE approves Grant UK’s heat pump CPD

The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) has approved Grant UK’s Air Source Heat Pump CPD seminar, accessible through its eLearning Academy.

CIBSE has approved Grant UK's online heat pump CPD seminar, enabling members to count it towards their annual CPD hours. This eLearning opportunity focuses on renewable heating for professionals in the field.

The Grant eLearning Academy offers a variety of online training resources, focusing on renewable heating for installers, engineers, merchants, consultants, architects, and specifiers.

Among these, a free heat pump CPD seminar in the platform’s dedicated learning zone for architects, specifiers, and mechanical and electrical (M&E) consultants has recently received approval from the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE). With this endorsement, CIBSE members who complete the online heat pump seminar by Grant UK can now include it in their annual CPD hours.

Grant UK’s online heat pump CPD seminar introduces air source heat pump technology and how it works. The seminar also covers the topics of system design, heat pump sizing, correct design and installation protocols, and the regulations and standards affecting heat pump installations. The online seminar also explains how to understand air source heat pump performance levels and estimate running costs.  

Routes to professional registration and membership

This qualification body also recognises Grant UK as a registered CPD Course Provider. CIBSE works closely with its members and course providers to promote and support the careers of building services engineers through the accreditation of courses, approval of work-based training programmes, and provision of routes to professional registration and membership.

CIBSE members are required to complete a certain level of Continuing Professional Development by undertaking self-learning hours throughout the year. Grant UK’s online heat pump CPD can now count towards annual CPD hours for CIBSE members.  

“CPD content is an essential resource allowing for skills enhancement and keeping up to date with industry developments and best practices,” comments Anna Wakefield, head of internal sales and marketing for Grant UK.

“We are very pleased that our online heat pump CPD seminar, which is also approved by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), has been approved by CIBSE, allowing their members to learn about this low carbon heating solution while also working towards their annual CPD hours.”
