Logic4training can now help building services companies and sole traders’ access funding of up to 70% off the price of renewables training. This fantastic opportunity is open to businesses in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex (outside the M25), Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk and is available thanks to a pot of money from the European Social Fund, delivered through the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR).
The funding has been put in place to encourage building services businesses to get into the green energy sector, in-turn reducing the carbon footprint of their customers. With initiatives such as Feed in Tariffs (FiTs), the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and next year’s Green Deal, the demand for related technologies and equipment is on the increase, creating a strong market place for BS Engineers with the correct skills.
Available immediately and until money runs out, the following Logic4training courses are covered:
• Solar Thermal Domestic Hot Water
• Domestic Heat Pump Installer (Ground and Air Source)
• Domestic Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Installer
Between 50 – 70% off the cost of these renewable energy courses is available, with the amount each candidate receives dependent on company size. Decisions regarding this percentage are made by Nautilus, a third party organisation who will process applications.
Terms and conditions:
1. Funding is only available to companies and sole traders registered in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex (outside the M25), Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Proof of address, such as a signed company letter head, must be provided. In the case of holding companies, as long as the trading company has an operating address within the region they can apply.
1. Sole traders must provide proof of their status, such as official documentation from the HM Revenue and Customs (letter, tax return, card etc).
2. Funding will be allocated on a first come first serve basis and is limited.
3. Funding is not open to publicly funded bodies like councils
4. There is no limitation on the company turnover but, dependent upon the turnover, the funding level will vary between 50-70%.
5. Applications cannot be made after the training has taken place.

Hi I currently hold the Logic Solar thermal full scope certificate which i took at the Baxi Dartford training centre & I have a couple of questions regarding my qualification.
I am now starting to get some enquiries into solar panels but as of yet I have not been fitting any as I am led to believe that I now have to be MCS qualified as well, is this correct? Also that the forthcoming (RHI) renewable heat incentive is only going to be available to members of the MCS scheme. If this is not correct & I do not have to belong to MCS how can i go about notifying for building control notice? Is there a competent persons scheme for this or can i just do it through the Gas Safe register? Hope someone can help me with this query.
Regards Nick Owen
Hi Nick,
You do have to be MCS approved in order for your domestic customers to take advantage of the RHI. The training you have undertaken is approved by the MCS and will go towards your accreditation. You can find out more about becoming MCS accredited here: http://www.microgenerationcertification.org/installers
Please send me details on how to take advantage of this training and where the training will take place. We are based in St. Albans AL4
Can you tell me the course content for the solar thermal and solar PV and heat pump courses?

Hi Harry,
Unfortunately Leicester isn’t covered by this funding, however there may be something similar going on in your area so it’s worth having a look.
