The new courses include comprehensive product training for both the Ideal Logic Air and HP290 air source heat pumps. Each course delivers detailed, step-by-step guidance on installation, commissioning and controls.
With their modular format, installers can either complete the full training series or access specific chapters as an on-site reference guide.
Complementing the product training, Expert Academy has also launched a new introductory F-Gas course. Through a series of concise videos, this course covers essential aspects of F-Gas regulations, available training pathways and qualification options, as well as key processes and tools specific to heat pump installation and maintenance.
The expansion follows the recent success of Ideal’s Expert Academy training arm in its first Ofsted inspection, which highlighted its excellence in delivering comprehensive heat pump installation training and preparing installers for the growing demands of renewable heating technology.
Free bite-sized accessible modules
Each course has been specifically designed to provide installers with practical knowledge through bite-sized, accessible modules, completely free of charge.
It means installers have more flexibility and choice to gain new skills and learn in a way that fits around their diaries.
Andrew Johnson, Training Director at Ideal Heating, said: “We’re investing significantly in training and development to ensure installers have the skills for both today and for the UK’s net-zero future.
“Our digital platform makes this vital knowledge accessible to everyone, whether they’re new to the industry or experienced engineers looking to expand into renewable technologies.
“By combining the new F-Gas overview course with our existing Introduction to Air Source Heat Pumps programme, we’re creating a comprehensive pathway for installers to confidently enter the heat pump market.”
The three new courses launched by Expert Academy On-Demand are:
- An overview to F-Gas
- Logic Air Product Training
- HP290 Product Training
This latest development builds upon the successful launch of the Introduction to Air Source Heat Pumps course in September 2024.
The expanded digital training provision also builds on a landmark year in 2024 for Expert Academy, which saw several significant milestones, including:
- Training over 3,000 installers through in-person courses, with a 94% satisfaction rate of five out of five
- Expanding its UK-wide training locations to more than 30 facilities, including 12 new centres opened in 2024
- Winning multiple industry accolades, including the prestigious BESA Training Provider of the Year award
