Program highlights

Our Solar Thermal program takes the learner through several stages of solar thermal domestic hot water system from different types of components, system design, installation, testing, commissioning, handover and maintenance.

The immersive virtual scenario gives the learner the opportunity to inspect a house to specify a new solar thermal system and diagnose various faults that could be found.

This online environment provides a safe, realistic place to test their knowledge, make mistakes without real life consequences and boost their skills attainment.
