MidKent College plumbing students with one of the newly-purchased solar rigs
The level 3 training, which qualifies students to install solar domestic hot water heating systems, is the first of its kind to be delivered at the college. Head of Faculty for Construction & Building Services, at the college campus on Medway Road in Gillingham, Stuart Nice, said: “MidKent College has invested in two solar rigs to enable us to deliver the training. In addition, Worcester-Bosch has donated a complete solar package for the students to practise installing.
“We are committed to delivering this training to students, so that they will leave the college equipped to work in the fast-growing solar energy market.”
