Grant has announced new dates for its popular heat pump and oil boiler courses at its on-site Training Academy in Birr, Co. Offally, and the addition of a brand-new course to its growing training portfolio. The oil burner course has been developed for technicians who are experienced working within the heating industry and looking to further their knowledge on domestic oil burners. It is the first course within the Grant Training Academy portfolio that will require a small payment to secure a space. However, those who sign up can feel assured that it will be money well spent as the course will cover all areas associated with domestic oil burners including: how they operate, the basics of combustion, how to use test equipment, how to test for faulty components, flue gas analysis, burner commissioning and more. Grant’s on-site training courses take place at the company’s state-of-the-art training facilities which opened at the start of last year and run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.30am – 4.00pm. Each course has been developed by Grant’s specialist training team to further educate those working in the heating trade throughout Ireland on the manufacturer’s range of innovative heating technologies. * Training courses will go ahead in line with the government’s Covid-19 guidelines and are subject to change if necessary.
