PIPELIFE ECO RENEWABLE TRAINING ACADEMY

Renewable Heating Systems have become an important area for the building services industry. Understanding how to provide these sources, systems and applications is seen as key in meeting the future needs of both commercial and domestic heating.

Expertise is vital to renewables success and so Pipelife are delighted to offer a range of courses that have been specifically designed to provide experienced heating, plumbing, installation and building professionals with a real understanding of the potential for renewable energy sources, installation and their application. Relevant, practical, industry-leading training courses delivered at our state-of-the-art Academy in Cork or Dublin by fully qualified professionals in a relaxed, informal environment.

The courses are free to attend and will be led by members of our Technical Team who have a wealth of practical knowledge and installation practices, and feature a detailed tour of the Pipelife manufacturing facility where visitors are given the opportunity to see first-hand where our products are designed and manufactured.

The free courses will be available to installers, service engineers, plumbers, merchants, architects, local authorities and BER Assessors.
