What an absolute con..... would you trust someone to work in your property after a 6 month course that was based in a classroom and requires some photos of you pretending to do some work on site??What they don't tell you is that when you come out.... no one will employ you. Because no one is that stupid. Without any experience you won't get a job!!!!!!So you can work for yourself????? Enjoy the legal battles when you it all goes wrong because you flooded some poor old lady's house out because they taught you how to connect a cooker. But not drain a system down properly.There is a reason it takes 4 years the traditional way...... on site with experienced engineers. These courses do nothing but teach you how to pass a test. When in reality it's hands on experience that you need.When I did an apprenticeship it was 1 day a week at college and 4 days on site...... it was the 4 days where you really learnt and practiced your craft.Just read real reviews online of people that have done this training. Or from BPEC, the awarding body for apprenticeships. Or from anyone that isn't affiliated with these centres.Unsuspecting victims come out with a certificate that cost a fortune and no job what so ever. Just try and get a gas job online........ they will all give a minimum term of experience required....... These centres should be ashamed of themselves.They are diluting the industry with cowboys that don't have a clue. Its already bad enough and gas safe is there to protect customers.Anyone that goes on these courses and thinks and think they can walk out with a fancy new certificate and earn £50k a year are delusional.

Lindsay was helpful with the paperwork/ portfolio side of the course, which also helped as paperwork isn't my forte.The company they use for placement are also good, made a few new friends and enjoyed the experience with Basi. Would recommend and I will be going back.

Air Source Heat Pump Split System Installation

Air Source Heat Pump Split System Installation - Viva Training Centre

In this video we look at Air Source Heat Pump split system installation. Viva Training look at a Daikin split system – R32 outdoor unit 4kw and indoor unit (split hydraulic and split refrigeration unit).

Learn More About: Air Source Heat Pump Training

We get asked about the F-Gas side of heat pumps a lot so here is an insight from one of our expert trainers!

We’re here in the daikin product training room we’re installing this viking split system it’s the r32 outdoor unit it’s four kilowatts and is the indoor unit which is a split hydraulic and split refrigeration units.

We get asked a lot about the f gas side of air source heat pumps and we’ve just taken the time to video connecting the refrigeration lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit, our expert trainer rob who’s our f gas trainer has just done this and videoed the whole thing to give you an insight into the process.

Air Source Split System Installation

We are going to install daikin alfirma low temperature heat pump. This is the outdoor unit the bit that sits in your garden this is the indoor bit that sits in your plant room or wherever you decide it’s going to be installed in your house. This absorbs the heat from the atmosphere and this part transfers the heat into your water system so it’s for your central heating or your hot water.

These have to be piped together from the refrigeration standpoint, so there are two pipes that will run from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit that have to be installed by a specialist refrigeration installer. They must be qualified to ensure that this equipment is put in correctly, legally and environmentally safe.

There’ll be two pipes, one pipe is larger than the other. The smaller pipe will carry refrigerant liquid refrigerant into the indoor unit and the larger pipe returns
vaporized refrigerant back to the outside unit.

Enjoy the video on the installation process.
