PHAM NEWS | OCTOBER 2024 18 Training Update


New facility to enhance the learning experience


With the aim of providing installers with an opportunity to get hands on with its complete domestic and commercial product portfolio, the new Solutions Academy at Baxi’s Warwick HQ includes training rooms dedicated to different technologies which highlight the company’s extensive range of product options. The result of a £1.7m investment, the upgraded facility will increase its annual installer training capacity on the site from 600 delegates in 2023 to 2000 by next year. The purpose-built facility reflects


a shift away from specific product training to more of an emphasis on different heating solutions that will help the country to meet its decarbonisation targets. Baxi says that it aims to ensure that installers are equipped with the right skills and knowledge to help customers decarbonise heat and hot water, and just as importantly, to inspire the next generation of installers to be part of the clean heat transition.


Make a date to learn about air source heat pumps


The company’s new focus on


solutions training, alongside its traditional product training, will also be replicated in Baxi’s other main training centres in Warrington, Dartford and Dublin. “If you look at technical skills,


we’re part of a larger national project to transition traditional heating engineers towards installing new, renewable technologies, and to earn a living through green jobs in our low- carbon future,” says Ian Trott, Baxi’s head of UK training solutions. “Today we are giving more installers than ever the opportunity to test our products and solutions as part of their career


development in the future of heat.” The Solutions Academy also


includes a fully equipped digital studio to support Baxi’s new e-learning platform. Installers will be able to access live virtual training and pre-learning, as well as to extend their in-person training with follow-up out-of-class sessions delivered to enrich their overall learning experience. The company says that the digital platform will give easier accessibility to its content for installers living in more remote parts of the country and will also allow users to learn at their own pace and convenience. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/1024/23
