Quantum ‘thrilled’ to sponsor this year’s Skills London

The team at the Quantum Group is delighted to announce that we are a sponsor of this year’s Skills London exhibition – the UK’s largest jobs and careers event for young people. 

We are sponsoring the Construction and Engineering Zone and our team is looking forward to meeting attendees, educators and their families. At our stand, we will sharing our knowledge, passion for sustainability and renewables and information about our training courses and facilities.

The event is at ExCel London on 24 and 25 November and will offer up to 35,000 jobs, training opportunities and apprenticeships under one roof.

Our team and exhibition space will be giving our visitors information about how Quantum is helping accelerate the UK’s drive towards achieving net zero through our training courses and state-of-the-art bespoke training facilities. 

We will also be taking part in a workshop, ‘The acceleration to net zero by closing the skills gap’. This will demonstrate how we have identified collaborative solutions to addressing the growing green skills gap and have developed training facilities and courses that help students, their tutors and professional engineers.

Education

College tutors who visit us can learn about how we can support the education of the green skills workforce of tomorrow, to help meet the growing demand for engineers who work with low carbon technologies. 

We will also share information about our custom-designed training course for college students, Sustainable Energy and Renewable Technologies. The course has been assured by City & Guilds and provides an introduction to green technologies for young people and career changers. 

The course is the first of its kind and was created in partnership with Daikin UK. It covers fossil fuels and their impact on the environment, legislation and knowledge about greener, energy-saving technologies such as air source heat pumps. 

We will also have demonstration units at our stand showcasing our state-of-the-art training bays for colleges. These allow students to gain practical experience of using green technologies and complement the theory they learn in the classroom. 

Our training bays are a key element of the new Green Skills Lab unveiled at London South East Colleges’ Bromley campus in September and have proved a hit with students there. 

Expertise

Our team will also be discussing our ‘Train the Green Trainer Academy’ – our specialist facility dedicated to equipping trainers and tutors with the necessary expertise to deliver renewable energy courses.

Maria Gonella, Quantum Group Managing Partner, said: “We’re thrilled to be sponsoring Skills London this year and can’t wait to see everyone at our stand. 

“The decarbonisation and renewable energies sector is growing rapidly. It offers many opportunities to advance your employability and be part of a rapidly growing workforce that focuses on sustainable growth and the transition to a net zero world.

“At Quantum, we specialise in providing opportunities to engage in learning about green skills. Our training courses will equip you with lifelong practical skills in renewable technologies. We strive to bridge the gap between theory and practice by providing immersive and hands-on renewable training experiences through our innovative range of products, courses and services. 

“Through our collaborative approach with industry stakeholders, we remain at the forefront of the evolving renewable energy space, enabling us to design optimal low-carbon systems for the built environment and provide training on the latest industry technologies. Together, we are driving the transformation towards a greener future.”

Funding is available for heating engineers who complete Quantum Group’s air source heat pump training courses.

The Heat Training Grant initiative means we can now offer a refund to the engineers who undertake our training, on completion of our three-day Level 3 LCL Award course, LCL Awards Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Air Source Heat Pumps Systems (non-refrigerant circuits).

You will have to confirm that:

  • You are a sole trader or work for a business with 250 employees or fewer, or are unemployed
  • You or the business you work for are certified by an appropriate competent person scheme for heating and hot water systems, e.g. APHC, BESCA, Blue Flame Certification, Gas Safe Register, Certsure/NICEIC, HETAS, NAPIT, OFTEC or Stroma
  • Has your employer received £315,000 or more in Government subsidies over the past three years?

You will receive the Government Heat Training Grant of a £500 payment once you complete your LCL Awards Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Air Source Heat Pumps Systems.

Heat pumps could boost the energy efficiency of millions of British homes and buildings if installed correctly.

Decarbonisation efforts such as this are vital to help the UK meet its legally binding climate targets. But to achieve this, thousands more heating engineers need to learn to install and maintain green technologies like heat pumps.

To help, the Government is offering grants of £500 to trainees to cover the cost of learning to install air source heat pumps.

Quantum’s experienced trainers go above and beyond to deliver an engaging and informative LCL Awards Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Air Source Heat Pumps Systems.

This qualification is acceptable to all MCS providers and will train you to become a competent and confident air source heat pump Installer, allowing you to grow your business and support the decarbonisation of heating systems.

To qualify for the funding, you must hold:

  • A N/SVQ Level 2/3 in Plumbing or Heating and Ventilating (Domestic or Industrial and Commercial) or Oil-Fired Technical Services or an equivalent earlier certification that provides evidence of competence.
  • WRAS Water Regulation/Water Byelaws or equivalent (we can offer this course prior to the ASHP Course, if needed).
