Course information

What will I study?
Our Technical Tutor, will show you how to install Kensa’s ‘game changing’ compact Shoebox NX (5kw), which aims to deliver Networked Heat Pumps to the mass market.

Designed for quiet operation, the Shoebox NX is small enough to fit in a cupboard and capable of heating anything from a high-rise flat to a five-bed home. It is five times more efficient than a boiler, with an Energy Rated Performance of A+++ and a COP of 4.36.

The heat pump harnesses naturally occurring renewable energy and concentrates this into a high temperature, to provide heating and hot water to a dwelling. For every 1kW of electricity used to run the heat pump, over 4kW of heat is produced – making the Shoebox NX over 400% efficient.

It delivers hot water up to 64℃ and can even be configured to provide passive cooling in the summer months, a valuable feature for combatting overheating, particularly in high-rise buildings. It can be tucked away in a kitchen or airing cupboard, and its pared-back footprint frees up vital storage space in a home.

The training covers both ground to water technologies and meets the training entry requirements for MCS

Whilst the qualification is designed for sealed refrigerant systems and precludes the knowledge and competence requirements to break, make and fill split refrigerant circuits, which would be covered by separate Refrigerant Handling Qualifications, the knowledge and understanding criteria are still relevant and this qualification could be undertaken by operatives wishing to install split systems, so long as they are also separately qualified in the handling of refrigerants as described in the EU F-GAS regulation and the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations.
