Zenith Eco Solutions Donates Air Source Heat Pump for Students at The Green Energy Skills Centre

Zenith Eco Solutions had the pleasure of welcoming back the students at St Helens College for the start of the academic year last week to donate an Air source heat pump to allow practical students to get hands on in understanding the systems mechanics.

 The facility provides skills and training in an effort to meet emerging jobs and skills priorities in line with the government’s 2050 net zero target.

A range of plumbing and heating courses are taught at the centre, ranging from level two and three technical qualifications to apprenticeships and adult training courses.

St Helens College has invested more than £500,000 into the facility, including an investment boost from the Department for Education’s Strategic Development Fund.

Phil Walsh, Head of Construction at St Helen’s College, said: “We aim to be the number one training centre for heating engineers in the UK, delivering quality skills training to the industry’s new and existing workforce to meet emerging green jobs and skills priorities.”

This development adds to the college’s existing green technology provision, which includes electric vehicle training at its STEM Centre Campus. The school plans to expand into solar thermal and photovoltaic systems in the future.

Chris Lee, Deputy Head of School for Construction said ‘It was a pleasure to welcome Zenith Eco Solutions back to our Green Energy Skills Centre today, bringing a new heat pump which they have kindly donated to support our leaners on their renewable journey’.
