Ideal Heating’s Expert Academy has partnered with Warmur Academy to support the launch of Hydronics Unlocked, a brand-new digital training programme that helps heating professionals apply modern system design principles in the real world, on any job.
The collaboration brings together Ideal Heating’s training leadership and trusted installer brand with Warmur Academy’s specialist expertise in hydronic system design, to jump-start a shift in competency across the industry.
Andrew Johnson, Training Director at Ideal Heating, said: “I’m delighted to be working with the team at Warmur Academy. We share the same vision: to make good system design the norm, not the exception. Helping people make better, more confident engineering decisions every day is exactly what our Expert Academy is about. Together, we can get this training out to more professionals, faster — and raise standards for everyone.”
Hydronics Unlocked is built around Warmur Academy’s unique 10-step process, turning hydronic theory into a practical, repeatable method engineers can use to design and set up any system. The new programme will combine the current in-person 1-day course with an interactive digital course to offer flexible routes for learners while working towards a recognised Low Temperature qualification.
As a founding partner, Ideal Heating will accelerate the rollout of the digital learning platform and bring the scale the sector needs for mass adoption.
Jo Alsop, Founder of Warmur Academy, said: “This partnership shows what’s possible when two organisations are aligned on raising the bar for the whole industry. Warmur Academy exists to make high-quality system design standard practice, not specialist knowledge. Ideal’s support enables us to get this training into the hands of thousands more engineers and drive the step-change in competency the sector has been asking for”
Warmur Academy co-founder, Kimbo Betty, added: “Hydronics Unlocked is the end-product of years spent trying to give engineers the practical understanding we were never properly taught. It’s designed to strip out the complexity and provide clear, no-nonsense guidance that’s genuinely usable on any system. Massive credit to Ideal, they’re stepping forward to help take this to the whole trade so our training course can reach a far wider audience.”
The online programme will be available directly through Warmur Academy and via trusted industry partners, to provide learners with flexible ways to access the training. As a founding partner, Ideal Heating installers will benefit from exclusive early access to the training from Spring this year.
