Worcester distance learning training package

Worcester, Bosch Group comprehensive distance learning training package for installers covers skills and knowledge required to install the Greenstar CDi gas condensing combination boiler.

Worcester, Bosch Group has introduced a comprehensive distance learning training package for installers who are unable to attend one of its fully equipped training centres but want to combine work with continued professional development.

Covering the necessary skills and knowledge required to install the Greenstar CDi gas condensing combination boiler, the distance learning programme is available on Worcester's website and will also be available in a CD format that can be ordered in the Training area of the website.

The programme includes six main modules that installers can work through stage by stage whilst undertaking training at their own pace.

A full narrative has been included in each of the sections to ensure training requirements are understood and easy to navigate.

There are also plenty of visual examples to illustrate installation procedures and important checks.

Sections one to five provide an introduction to the training and go on to cover pre-installation checks through to installation, commissioning, servicing and basic fault finding.

The sixth module features an impressive virtual reality boiler section that enables installers to view one of Worcester's Greenstar boilers almost as if they are in the training room.

Bringing the boiler to life, a virtual 3D image makes it possible to inspect components more closely by zooming in on the product and touring around it.

Components can even be removed and refitted, meaning the virtual boiler can be completely stripped and rebuilt without the installer even setting foot outside their own home.

Phil Bunce, training manager for Worcester said: "We are dedicated to making training more accessible to installers, no matter where they are based around the country, and are particularly proud of the new distance learning package that's available to access and download online.

As a result of this introduction, we are now able to offer professional training packages for installers facing geographical constraints or for those who simply can't take time out of work to attend a classroom based training session.

"Distance learning is just one of the ways in which we are supporting installers and helping them keep up to speed with industry developments, new products and legislation.

We also have five well-equipped mobile training vehicles that are out on the road, not to mention our training centre's around the country.

At present, facilities include Worcester (HQ), Clay Cross (Chesterfield), Bangor (Northern Ireland) and our brand new centre in West Thurrock, which opened in April this year.

We are also planning to open another centre in Bradford in January 2008.".
