Under the government’s Climate Action Plan (CAP), overall greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by 51% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050.
To aid in the realisation of this, the government have developed a roadmap to phase out fossil fuel in home heating.
By 2030, the government has targets to retrofit over 400,000 homes to a minimum B2 BER level threshold by installing 600,000 plus heat pumps into existing and new dwellings.
The aim of the programme is therefore to support CAP by providing learners with the necessary installation, maintenance and servicing training, which will allow the graduates to be placed on the Irish Register, and thus deemed competent as heat pump installers for both ground to water and air to water technologies.
The programme curriculum is aligned to the National Standard Authority of Ireland (NSAI) recently developed and published National Standard Recommendation for the design and Installation of Heat Pumps in homes – S.R. 50-4:2021.
In order to be eligible to gain entry onto the programme the learner must be trained and certified, L6 Advanced Craft Certificate, as a plumber or refrigeration engineer, or have, as a minimum, a Higher Certificate in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent in a cognate discipline and have
basic electrical and plumbing skills. In addition, all learners must have basic ICT skills. All programme applications will be individually assessed.
The following list includes a selection of modules that you will study during your time on this programme.
The programme will run during term time and will honour the normal campus breaks for students during the Christmas, Easter, and Summer Holidays.
Self-directed learning, assessments and project work will be expected to be completed in addition to the timetabled contact hours.
The on-campus delivery may be on Saturdays.
Average minimum from 7-9 hours per week time commitment.
