By transitioning to sustainable technologies in the built environment, we can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pave the way towards a greener and more sustainable future. Quantum’s Renewable Training Facilities are designed to equip learners with the practical skills and knowledge needed to implement these technologies effectively. By embracing renewable energy solutions and upskilling our workforce, we can accelerate the transformation of our homes and buildings, contributing to the overall goal of achieving a net zero carbon economy and workforce.
Key targets include:
At Quantum, we understand the importance of practical training when it comes to renewable energy technologies. Achieving Government targets for energy-saving technologies and the broader transition to a low carbon economy can be achieved only if we retrain and upskill students and professionals to become a net zero workforce. That’s why we have designed state-of-the-art Quantum Renewable Training Facilities specifically tailored to provide an immersive and hands-on learning experience .
Our purpose-built training environments include air source heat pumps, solar PV, solar thermal, EV charging and battery energy storage. These facilities are meticulously designed to replicate real-world scenarios, allowing learners to gain practical skills and knowledge that are essential in today’s rapidly evolving renewable energy sector.
Within each Quantum Renewable Training Facility, you will find three distinct systems – one dedicated to air source heat pump technology, one dedicated to solar thermal heating systems and the other focused on the electrical ecosystem, which includes solar PV, EV charging, and battery energy storage.
Our air source heat pump booths are modular versions of typical household heating systems, comprised of air source heat pumps, pre-plumbed cylinder, volumiser, radiators, underfloor heating and all the valves, piping and water circuitry and controls that you would find in a domestic heating system.
Our solar thermal booths are modular versions of domestic solar thermal heating systems, comprising solar thermal panels, radiators, underfloor heating and all the valves, piping, circuitry and controls that you would find in a domestic heating system.
Our Domestic Energy Ecosystem Booths are modular versions of typical household energy systems, comprised of photovoltaic solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, battery storage, circuitry and controls that you would find in a domestic heating system.
Each system is further divided into three specialised learning environments, or booths, to provide a comprehensive training experience:
Live working booth:
In this booth, learners will have the opportunity to work with fully operational renewable energy systems. They will gain experience in understanding the equipment and principles of system operation.
Fault-finding booth:
The fault-finding booth provides learners with valuable troubleshooting experience. They will learn how to identify and diagnose common issues that may arise in renewable energy systems. Through simulated faults and practical exercises, learners will enhance their problem-solving abilities and gain confidence in resolving system malfunctions effectively.
Install and maintenance booth:
This booth focuses on the practical aspects of installing, maintaining and servicing renewable energy technologies. Learners will find out more about best practices for system installation, routine maintenance procedures and equipment servicing techniques. This booth allows learners to develop the skills necessary to ensure the long-term performance and reliability of renewable energy systems.
Our Quantum Renewable Training Facilities are equipped with industry-leading equipment and technologies, providing learners with a realistic training environment that mirrors the challenges and complexities they will encounter in the field as a future renewable engineer. We continuously update our facilities to incorporate the latest advancements and ensure that our learners are exposed to cutting-edge technologies and industry trends.
By choosing Quantum’s Renewable Training Facilities, you are investing in a transformative learning experience that will empower individuals to become skilled professionals in the renewable energy industry. Whether you are a student embarking on a career path or a professional seeking to enhance your skills, our facilities will provide you with the practical knowledge and hands-on training you need to succeed in the ever-growing renewable energy sector.
Our renewable training facilities are not just spaces for practical training but also powerful educational tools that can enhance the delivery of our low-carbon training courses such as our Level 2 Introduction to Sustainable Energy Technologies course. By utilising the full potential of our Quantum Renewable Training System, further education colleges can provide their students with a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. Here’s how you can make the most of your Quantum Renewable Training System:
Align with the Level 2 Introduction to Sustainable Energy Technologies Course:
Our Quantum Renewable Training System is specifically designed to support the content covered in our Level 2 course. By integrating the practical components of the course into the training system, colleges can seamlessly combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience. This integration ensures that students gain a deep understanding of sustainable energy technologies and their practical application in the built environment.
Utilise the dedicated learning environments:
The Quantum Renewable Training System features specialised learning environments within each booth, including the Live Working Booth, Fault-Finding Booth and Install and Maintenance Booth. These environments align with the practical sessions outlined in our course structure. By utilising these dedicated spaces, colleges can provide students with the opportunity to develop skills in live working scenarios, fault diagnosis and system installation and maintenance.
Leverage the cutting-edge equipment and technologies:
Our facilities are equipped with industry-leading equipment and technologies. To make the most of your training system, colleges should encourage students to fully engage with the equipment, familiarize themselves with its operation, and understand the underlying principles. By immersing students in the latest advancements and technologies, colleges can prepare them to confidently work with renewable energy systems in real-world settings.
Encourage collaboration and problem-solving:
The Quantum Renewable Training System provides an ideal platform for collaborative learning and problem-solving. Students can work together in teams to tackle practical exercises, troubleshoot system faults and explore innovative solutions. Encouraging collaboration fosters a dynamic and interactive learning environment, where students can benefit from diverse perspectives and enhance their problem-solving skills.
Bridge theory and practice:
The Quantum Renewable Training System enables colleges to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. By incorporating hands-on training within the learning process, students can gain a deeper understanding of concepts covered in the theoretical units. Encourage students to reflect on their practical experiences, relate them to the theoretical concepts, and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.
By following these guidelines, further education colleges can maximise the value and effectiveness of their Quantum Renewable Training System. This integration of theory and practice will empower students to become skilled professionals in the field of sustainable energy technologies, equipping them with the practical know-how and industry-relevant skills needed to excel in their future low-carbon careers.
We are committed to supporting further education colleges in securing the necessary funding to establish these cutting-edge training environments. For colleges looking to purchase a training facility, bidding for funding from the Local Skills Improvement Fund can be a viable option.
