How Is It Assessed
Assessment is through a practical design project, not a formal exam. You will complete and deliver a client-style presentation that demonstrates your ability to: * Build a detailed customer profile * Calculate heat loss and energy requirements * Design an effective air source heat pump system * Cost the installation and present clear pricing options * Explain timelines, benefits and aftercare support This assessment method reflects real workplace practice and helps you build confidence in presenting to customers and employers.
How Is It Taught
Learning is practical, engaging and built around real-life scenarios. You’ll be taught in our brand-new Green Technology Hub through a mix of: * Tutor-led sessions led by industry-experienced staff * Practical activities focused on surveying properties and analysing energy use * Realistic customer case studies * Guided use of professional presentation and design tools You won’t just learn the theory, you’ll apply your knowledge to realistic projects that mirror how air source heat pumps are designed and sold in industry.
What Could I do Next
Completing this course can open the door to a range of exciting opportunities, including: * Progression to higher-level renewable energy or heat pump qualifications * Supporting a move into roles within low-carbon heating, retrofit or building services * Enhancing your CV for work with installers, housing providers or energy companies * Gaining essential knowledge for those looking to start or grow a business in renewable heating
