F.A.Q Does the Heat Pump Installers course cover ducted systems?

A: The Heat Pump Installers Course teaches the core installation principles, tools, and general commissioning practices that apply to all heat pump types, including ducted units.

However, ducted systems require specialised design and advanced commissioning knowledge that goes beyond the scope of a general installers course. Based on many years of industry experience and student feedback, we’ve found that combining both topics reduces learning effectiveness and doesn’t allow enough time for the depth required.

To ensure the best outcomes, we deliver ducted training as a dedicated programme, with focused coverage of:

  • system design and airflow performance

  • correct selection and sizing

  • ducted-specific commissioning and verification

  • practical scenarios and Q&A

This approach ensures the main course can cover essential installation content in greater detail—without rushing or diluting key competencies.

A separate online Ducted Selection, Design & Commissioning course is available for those wanting to extend their skills.
