Hitachi Air Conditioning Europe has launched its newly refurbished aircademy training centre in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Dedicated to excellence, the aircademy has recently been updated to showcase the company's latest ErP-compliant air conditioning and MCS-approved heating products, many of which have also been awarded ECA status.

All equipment is fully operational and is used extensively throughout the full day, product-specific training courses to enable in-house trainers to deliver practical and theory-based training featuring Set Free VRF and Utopia Splits, Samurai Chiller, RAC air conditioning, Yutaki heat pumps and the CS Net Web standalone control system.

In addition, Hitachi runs a number of CPD-accredited courses. All training is provided free of charge.

Hitachi's Training Manager, Paul Driver comments: 'What's key is that our training centre isn't just a showroom; all the products are ready for engineers to use and get to grips with. The aircademy features an extensive range of Hitachi air conditioning and heating products so our trainees can hear for themselves the low noise levels, feel the water temperature increases in our air source heat pumps and test simple multi-function controllers through to CS Net Web and BMS interfaces.'

He added: 'We also have an aircademy in Dublin for our Irish customers and a smaller Hitachi training centre in Glasgow which I often visit for our Northern based engineers and staff.'

Officially launched as part of the recent SeeHitachi 2013 customer event, Hitachi's Maidenhead aircademy is running Set Free VRF and Utopia Splits training on 1st October, followed by Yutaki heat pumps on 8th October and Samurai Chillers on 15th October.
