HETAS sees surge in demand for training

For more information about the range of HETAS solid fuel and biomass courses visit www.hetas.co.uk/training

The launch of the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) has increased demand for HETAS training, particularly for its biomass course.

According to newly released figures, there has been a 34% increase in the number of candidates attending HETAS training courses compared to the previous 12 months. HETAS says it is the only competent person scheme specialising in solid fuel and biomass and offers a wide range of courses, from an introduction to solid fuel to the more advanced stove and biomass installer training and chimney system training.

HETAS training manager Andy Mathews said: “The solid fuel and biomass sector is growing, no doubt as a result of impetus from the RHI. We are constantly reviewing and revising our courses to meet demand and as well as catering for the solid fuel industry we also offer a range of courses ideal for gas and oil installers who are looking to expand their skills and offer biomass to their customers.”

Refresher training is also proving popular with new legislation requiring that from June 2014 anyone registered with a competent person scheme must have up to date training qualifications. That means they must have attended either a training course or a refresher course within the last five years. The H006 system chimney system course has also proven popular with installers looking to provide a range of chimney solutions. In total there are 20 HETAS approved training centres in the UK and Ireland, with plans already in place for more centres to meet increasing demand.
