Training Providers

Training providers play a key role in the transition from gas boilers to heat pumps. Gaining the right qualifications is an essential step in a plumbing and heating engineer’s journey towards becoming a heat pump installer. For those aiming for MCS accreditation, Level 3 heat pump qualifications in design and installation are mandatory. Even for engineers who do not intend to become MCS accredited themselves, these courses offer a strong introduction to heat pump technology and the practical steps involved in delivering a successful installation.

What Happens After Training?

Despite the number of installers who complete Level 3 courses, we regularly speak to plumbers who never go on to install heat pumps. There are several reasons for this, but the most common is a lack of clarity around where to start with MCS and wider compliance requirements. From navigating the DNO process and joining a Consumer Code organisation, to feeling overwhelmed by the volume of MCS standards, becoming MCS accredited in their own right simply is not the right fit for many heating engineers.

How Can Alto Energy Help Training Providers?

We understand that training providers aim to do more than deliver a course. The goal is to add genuine value for the tradespeople you are educating and help them make a confident transition into heat pump installations. Alto Energy works alongside training providers to help provide that bridge many installers need, showing how straightforward it can be to deliver their first MCS compliant installation by working with us.

Partner with Alto Energy

By partnering with Alto Energy, we can supply training materials for you to share with course attendees, introducing them to our MCS Umbrella Scheme. For many course attendees, this will be an attractive entry point into the heat pump market.

Supporting your courses

If helpful, one of our business development team can attend your courses, either to present or to run a Q&A session during the course. This often proves valuable for installers, who naturally have questions about how to apply their training in practice.

Get listed on our website

Training providers who partner with Alto Energy receive a dedicated landing page on our website. This allows us to accurately track installers referred to us, which is important for managing referral fees, while also enabling us to promote your courses to our network of Alto Assured Partner Installers. Many of these installers require refresher training, such as unvented certification, alongside ongoing CPD. If they are based near one of your training centres, we will actively recommend your courses to them.
