Course Description

This practical, one-day course provides essential skills for maintaining and diagnosing air source (ASHP) and ground source (GSHP) heat pump systems, with content aligned to MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) maintenance standards.

Designed for both qualified installers and professionals from plumbing, heating, and low-carbon backgrounds, the course builds understanding of heat pump operation, fault-finding techniques, and maintenance best practice. Through hands-on tasks and live system scenarios, learners will gain confidence in servicing and troubleshooting modern heat pump systems — an increasingly vital skill as the UK transitions to net-zero heating.

Whether you're new to heat pumps or looking to refresh your skills, this course offers a solid foundation for further progression into diagnostics and retrofit qualifications
