As the UK ramps up efforts to reach its net zero targets, the demand for skilled professionals in renewable technologies is growing rapidly. One industry leader who’s ahead of the curve is Dan Crossley, Head of Operations at ECO Approach, who recently completed GTEC’s Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) Training Course.
In this recent video interview, Dan shares his reasons for signing up — and why he now believes this course is a must for professionals across the sector.
💡 More Than Expected: Upskilling and Renewables Knowledge
While Dan expected to leave with a stronger understanding of air source heat pumps, he says the depth of the training surprised him.
“I learnt more than I anticipated — not just about ASHPs, but also about the wider landscape of renewable technology. The intricate details and theory have really helped me to think more about how we deliver services.”
This knowledge, he says, will allow him to make processes smoother and more streamlined
📍 Why GTEC?
Originally, Dan chose GTEC because of their nationwide course availability, which made training accessible around his busy schedule. But once on-site, he said the facilities and the expert tutor running the course were second to none:
The fact that the course is currently part-funded, with a £500 discount, also made it an easy decision.
🌍 A Future-Proof Investment
“There’s a clear gap in the market for the volume of installers needed to hit net zero targets, and there is a lot to gain by moving into the renewables field.”
He strongly encourages others in the sector — whether installers, managers or business leaders — to make the move into renewables now and would definitely recommend GTECs training course.
