Training for Electricians, Gas Engineers and HVAC Professionals
In Hampshire & the Isle of Wight
SERT delivers structured, engineer-led electrical, renewable and heating systems training for working tradespeople across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Our programmes combine in-depth classroom instruction with on-equipment exercises, giving electricians, gas engineers and HVAC professionals the knowledge they need to understand system behaviour, install equipment correctly and work compliantly with current regulations.
Training is delivered by experienced engineers who bring real on-site expertise into every session, ensuring the content reflects the installation challenges and standards encountered by engineers working on live jobs throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Built Around Real Engineering Practice
SERT’s blended training approach supports tradespeople who want clear, accurate instruction on how systems operate and how they should be installed. Course content covers areas such as circuit protection and earthing arrangements, load calculations, heating and ventilation system layouts, refrigerant cycle behaviour, safe isolation, commissioning procedures and structured fault‑finding methods. Targeted practical exercises reinforce theory, helping electricians, gas engineers and HVAC technicians translate learning into practice on real systems.
Training Facilities and Learning Environment
Training is delivered from SERT’s purpose-built centre in Hampshire, offering five dedicated training rooms alongside an open learning area to support both theory and applied instruction.
Air source Heat Pump Training and Theoretical Learning Area
At the rear of the centre is an open learning space with desks and a large display screen, positioned alongside a live air source heat pump and an unvented cylinder. This area supports system explanation, component identification and theoretical discussion during classroom-based learning.
Theoretical Learning Room
One training room is configured as a classroom environment for structured learning sessions, equipped with desks and a large screen for technical presentations. Natural light from large windows surrounded by trees creates a focused environment for theory-based training.
Solar, Battery and EV Charging Point Training Room
A second room supports demonstration of renewable and electrical systems, with wall-mounted solar PV demonstration rigs, light stands to replicate real sunlight, wall-mounted battery storage systems and an EV charge point. This room allows learners to explore system layout, component interaction and installation considerations in a controlled setting.
Air Source Heat Pump Training and Exam Room
The third training room is used for air source heat pump learning and includes a live ASHP, radiator systems and unvented cylinders. This room also functions as an examination space for heat pump qualifications, so further details of assessment equipment are not disclosed.
Electrical Training Room
The fourth room is dedicated to electrical training, featuring multiple electrical demonstration boards around the space. This layout supports practical electrical work, system explanation and verification activities aligned with current wiring practices.
The fifth room is designated for electrical and EV charging assessments and is used exclusively for examination purposes to meet awarding body requirements.
Together, these facilities support a structured, consistent approach to learning that reflects the systems engineers encounter on site.
