SKILLS TRAINING
BEIS GREEN HEATING TECHNOLOGIES SKILLS TRAINING
Practical training courses delivered at no-cost to learners.
The Home Decarbonisation Skills Training Competition (HDSTC) is a £9.2m scheme to provide grant awards to a range of training organisations to deliver courses to support the domestic retrofit workforce. The funding is provided by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) link to BEIS website and managed by the Midlands Net Zero Hub link to MNZH website.
The B2W Group has been awarded funding to provide training courses to support installers operating across the different domestic retrofit schemes that are run by BEIS, including Sustainable Warmth Competition and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund. The training will lead to a recognised qualification across three work packages: insulation, heat pumps, and retrofit accreditation.
