EAL Level 3 Award in the Design, Installation and Maintenance of Air Source Heat Pump Systems (Non-refrigerant Circuits)

This award is specifically aimed at existing fossil fuel plumbing and heating engineers and gives them the necessary training to upskill their existing skills to install heat pumps. The qualification allows learners to continue to learn, develop, and practice the skills required for employment within the Building Services Engineering (BSE) renewable sector.
The purpose of  the qualification is to provide learners with the required underpinning knowledge and skills they will need to prove competence and to enable registration with the MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) for work under the scope of MIS 3005-I (The Heat Pump Standard - Installation). Key topics include the different operational characteristics of each type of air heat pumps, their components, the principles of heat pump selection, system design, emitter selection, hydraulics, the preparatory work required for heat pump installations, and the requirements to install, commission, and hand over heat pump systems.
The qualification has been developed from the Heat Pump Association (HPA), which enables a highly skilled workforce in the building services engineering sector This qualification has been recognised by Flexi-Orb (Flexible Energy Oversight Registration Body) for their Heat Pump Scheme
