Fergal
Day three and we finished the heat pump theory. We and compared the theory of installations to the current UK market with the renewable heat incentive coming in. For the people were hear before we did a welding test as part of the solar tour certificate. The rest of the group got to learn metal brazing. All in all a great intense day rewarded with a bar b q by our hosts.

Another full day of learning with the wide experiences and skills of other course participants bringing added value to the course. We are not only learning about heat pump technology, we are learning about further aspects to consider within a building. Many of us are now thinking about how different trades can and should be working together.



Graham
At last I have finished ground and air source heat pump only the test left (that will keep the crew out of trouble) only the solartur tests left good luck to all.

Dan
I have been so impressed with the quality and content of the lectures. The facilities have been second to none and we all had the chance to improve our brazing skills. Not only that, the great hospitality at our guesthaus has been so warm; we’ve all enjoyed an evening of bratwurst and Schwarz biere.

Another intense day of Heat pump knowledge is really starting to make me think of the future. Calculations are much more clear and leave me hungry for more. Graham and Fergal get straight to the point and make sense of problems/problem solving. Looking forward to the examination.

Another full day! In the morning we were taken for a brazing practical under the expert guidance of a master craftsman. The afternoon brought our heat pump knowledge into context of the current UK market with showing the possibilities for to take this technology into the future. Excellent!

All the aspects that have been confusing and complicated have come together to make the individual systems and the training as a whole become clear and has made the course even more interesting than I had imagined.

Kelvin
Solarteur practical brazing examination went well, really good to do some hands on in the workshop, light relief from the HEAT PUMP lecture schedule – although the course content has again been concise, precise and well delivered by Graham and Fergal.
