Heat pump training qualifi cation numbers show sustained growth
T
he Heat Pump Association’s (HPA) newly published Q2 2024 heat pump qualifi cation data
demonstrates increasing levels of interest in heat pump training in the UK, with just over 2,400 individuals successfully completing a heat pump training qualifi cation in Q2 2024, pushing the total to 4,875 for the year so far.
This marks a 14% increase in the number of individuals trained when comparing the fi rst half of 2024 to the same period in 2023. Even more striking is the 37% rise in qualifi cations from Q2 2023 to Q2 2024. Laura Thomas, chair of the HPA
Training Working Group said: ‘The steady growth in people successfully completing heat pump training courses refl ects the increasing recognition and value given to heat pumps as a key technology in the UK’s transition to net zero. The rise in qualifi ed individuals year on year solidifi es the eff orts of training providers to meet the demand of upskilling the workforce to support the growing market.’
The HPA and its members
remain dedicated to supporting the development of a skilled workforce capable of accelerating the installation of heat pumps in the UK. With the demand for training continuing to rise, the HPA will continue to collaborate closely with training providers, stakeholders, and policymakers to ensure policy, support and training standards remain up to date and eff ective.
