The Heat Training Grant is a funding scheme for heating engineers set up by the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Through this scheme, registered training providers, such as the Grant UK Training Academy in Swindon, can access up to £500 of funding to cover the cost of one heat pump installation course per eligible installer.
Grant UK's Training Academy is offering funded spaces on the OFTEC OFT21-504A – ASHP Installation, Commissioning, and Servicing of Air Source Heat Pumps qualification course. The course fee for this qualification is covered by the Heat Training Grant funding so the course will be free of charge to the installer, subject to the individual meeting the scheme's eligibility requirements.
The Heat Training Grant is not available to everyone – you need to be eligible for it. Provided below is a summary of the eligibility requirements for the Heat Training Grant:

The aim of the Heat Training Grant is to provide funding to installers who undertake heat pump training to ensure that there is a skilled workforce to install low carbon heating systems, such as heat pumps. The Government has set targets for heat pump installations over the coming years and to achieve these, the number of trained heat pump installers needs to increase. The Heat Training Grant should make training courses more affordable, equipping installers with the knowledge to confidently work with low temperature heating systems and to fulfil the standards set by competent persons schemes.
