Baxi has opened its new 10,000 sqft Solution Academy at its Warwick HQ, increasing its annual installer training capacity on the site from 600 delegates in 2023 to 2,000 in 2025.
For the first time, a Baxi training facility will have a dedicated solutions training room, allowing installers to get hands on with Baxi’s complete residential and commercial product portfolio under one roof.
Ian Trott is Baxi’s Head of UK Training Solutions: “I’m excited about the future – not just because of our fantastic new training solutions centre in Warwick, but because of our opportunity in supporting commercial sector skills through a dedicated solutions room in Warwick.”
Its new facility also includes a fully equipped digital studio to support Baxi’s new e-learning platform, to be launched later this year.
Installers will benefit by being able to access live virtual training and pre-learning, as well as being able to extend their in-person training with follow up out-of-class sessions delivered to enrich their overall learning experience.
Baxi says the digital platform will give greater accessibility to its content, and will allow people to move forward in their careers at their pace and convenience.
“If you look at technical skills, we’re part of a larger national project to transition traditional heating engineers towards installing new, renewable technologies, and to earn a living through green jobs in our low-carbon future.” Said Trott.
“Today we are giving more installers than ever the opportunity to test our products and solutions as part of their career development in the future of heat.”
