Samsung Climate Solutions expands training facilities for installers with a new centre in Manchester

Samsung Climate Solutions has announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art training centre in Manchester. Samsung aims to train 400 installers over the next year in the new 4,004 sq. ft centre, following growing demand for Samsung Climate Solutions’ training programmes which saw a 340% increase in trained installers from 2022 to 2023.

The courses are designed to equip installers with practical, hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge essential for installing and maintaining Samsung Climate Solutions’ innovative heat pump, air conditioning and smart control technologies.

The Manchester facility, which is located in Orbit Development’s Cavendish House in Sale, complements Samsung’s existing Climate Solutions training centre in Chertsey, demonstrating Samsung’s ongoing commitment to supporting installers to upskill in advancing technologies in the heating and cooling industry.

Scott Young, national training manager at Samsung Climate Solutions, said: “I’ve always valued hands-on learning. Practical onsite training allows knowledge to sink in and become intuitive. The new Manchester training centre, along with our established Chertsey facility, is a testament to our commitment to helping installers effectively fit the full range of Samsung Climate Solutions products. Additionally, we provide extensive online resources through our Samsung Business Academy. The online platform provides greater flexibility so learning can take place around installers’ busy schedules.

“At Samsung Climate Solutions, we are committed to sharing our expertise in heat and cooling technology and offering support in design, planning and commissioning, ensuring installers have a reliable safety net. Through the courses we offer, installers will learn how to implement efficient heating and cooling systems to give them the skills they need to advise their customers in technologies that are evolving every day.”

The new Manchester facility underscores Samsung Climate Solutions’ dedication to fostering a skilled workforce capable of meeting the growing demand for energy-efficient heating solutions.

The centre has recently been refurbished and now includes the addition of a cosy Garden Room with a coffee and break-out area, along with a new Peloton Suite and electric charging stations.

Scott continued: “We’re also actively engaging with colleges to inspire the next generation of trade professionals. Joining forces with the social enterprise Your Energy Your Way has led to a successful traineeship scheme for aspiring heating installers. The trainees are amazing and are taking to it well. This initiative shows how a clear pathway to becoming a qualified heating engineer can be established, providing a model for further efforts and other organisations to replicate.”
