Worcester Bosch, renowned boiler manufacture based in the United Kingdom, has announced a major change to its training program. With 16,000 installers passing through its Training Academy each and every year, it was decided that it was time to over-haul the courses.
The re-hauled program has a topic-specific course instead of just focusing on a singular boiler range. Topics include Specification; Installation and Commissioning; Service and Maintenance; and Fault Finding and Repair, among others.
Incorporating installers’ feedback
The new format focuses on one topic covering many products. The company has been gathering feedback from its installers on what they want the Training Academy to offer in their program.
Following this feedback, Worcester Bosch have produced a diversified program that covers more topics, in greater detail while promoting progression. Installers are able to book themselves on to a topical course which covers all of Worcester Bosch’s products in more detail, rather than a product specific course.

Installation and commissioning
Topics include but are not limited to; Specification; Installation and Commissioning; Service and Maintenance; Repair and Fault Finding; and Legacy Service and Repair.
Nick Fothergill, National Training Manager at Worcester Bosch said, “Our state-of-the-art Training Academy is now in full-swing following its opening in 2017. It made sense to rejuvenate our own training program to ensure that we are giving installers the essential skills they need to progress in the current market.”
