For installers, the continually changing legislation and ever-advancing product ranges within the heating industry can at times be overwhelming. Grant feels it is vital that installers stay one-step ahead of new technology, so the Academy is increasing its course offering to include further accredited programmes.


New training includes the Logic Solar Hot Water Certificate, which allows installers to acquire the necessary qualification to enable their customers to apply for the Low Carbon Building Programme (formerly ‘Clearskies’) grant towards the cost of their solar hot water system. The second is Logic’s Unvented Hot Water Certificate. This is intended for plumbers and heating installers who wish to obtain the essential qualification to allow them to install domestic unvented hot water systems in compliance with the Building Regulations G3 in England & Wales.

Along side these, the Academy continues to offer on-site and off-site OFTEC 101, 105E and 600 training and assessment programmes, as well as Vortex Condensing, Riello burner and Grant Solar Thermal product courses.

The purpose-built facility now incorporates two air–conditioned lecture rooms, oil-fired product training workshop, unvented hot water training area, solar thermal installation area and refreshment facilities.
