GTEC has been working with Construction Isle of Man and the Government to bring MCS accredited renewables training to the island.
Prior to the company’s involvement, there was no provision for this on the island.
There was a the lack of training for installers looking to make the move into renewables and coupled with the island’s Net Zero targets, the decision was made to bring courses direct to the island.

In its Climate Change Plan, the Manx Government has committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and has set two challenging interim targets: a 35% reduction by 2030 and a 45% reduction by 2035.
The Isle of Man Government aim to decarbonise the island’s electricity supply by 2030 and to generate an extra 30 megawatts of renewable electricity locally by 2026.
Debbie Reeve, Chief Officer for Construction IOM is enthusiastic about the new training opportunities: “GTEC has built some great mobile rigs that they have brought to the island to train our heating engineers this summer.
“The first courses in Solar PV, Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) and Air Source Heat Pump installation were delivered at the Comis Hotel at Mount Murray in late June, and more planned for later in the year.”
