Having had my own business since 1985 with 60+ employee's and having attending many workshops/seminars myself over that time, this PV workshop was one of the best organized and along with Ken's knowledge of the PV industry, made this three day workshop a complete success. Ken has the ability to pass on his knowledge of 12 years in the PV industry to a class made up of non electricians with great success. He is extremely patient and makes every effort to disseminate the large amount of technical information in only three days. I look forward to attending other Heatspring workshops in the future.

I would unreservedly recommend HeatSpring courses to anyone who is interested in learning about Ground Source Heat Pumps. I attended the first [Accredited Installer Certification] class in California. I was very impressed with the curriculum and the instructors. All of the textbooks and various materials you receive as well as the IGSHPA certification alone is worth the cost of the class. This is a great investment for someone seeking to learn about Green Technologies or Companies with continuing education programs for their employees.

As an attendee of several HeatSpring Learning Institute courses, I have found the presenters to be knowledgeable in their fields and very capable in their presentation of the material. I have used this knowledge to expand the services provided by my company and have even suggested new course subjects that I would like to have HeatSpring offer. These have been some of the most useful and practical courses that I have attended over the last twenty years.

I have been in the HVAC business in the Washington Metropolitan area for more than 20 years, owning my own company for more than 10. Over the years, I have watched technology change and demand for new solutions increase. I was getting numerous calls regarding geothermal heat pump installations and I was not able to submit bids due to lack of knowledge. I was familiar with the heat pump water source application, but not ground source. It was time for me to educate myself on ground source. The demand was only getting greater with the tax incentives being set in place.

In the fall of 2008, I participated in HeatSpring Learning Institute's Accredited Geothermal Installer Certification program offered in partnership with the International Ground Source Heat Pump Associations (IGSHPA). I can honestly say I received the most intense 3-day training from qualified trainers who want you to leave knowing all you need to know to install the ground source heat pump. I started my training knowing nothing and finished my training knowing that I could install a ground source heat pump!

Since my training, I have installed several ground source heat pumps, both vertical and horizontal applications. I no longer have to decline bids and I have the necessary knowledge to install ground source heat pumps thanks to HeatSpring. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to be a certified installer.

Money well spent!
