Become an IGSHPA Accredited Geothermal Installer. This is a foundational course for all geothermal installers, drillers, and designers.

This is a rare opportunity to take an advanced hydronic design course with John Siegenthaler. Learn to design state-of-the-art systems that deliver comfort, efficiency, and reliability.

This course introduces the technology used in modern air-to-water heat pumps and shows how to build complete systems around them.

The best way to get into the geothermal heat pump industry. Six modules of videos, discussion, reading, homework assignments, and quizzes led by the author of the IGSHPA Installation and Design manual.

Get your EPA 608 certification. This course will prepare students, apprentices, and technicians for all four sections of the EPA Section 608 examination. (Core, Type I, Type II, Type III.)

If you only take one heat pump training in your life, this is the one. Instructor John Siegenthaler wants this course to be your launching off point for more specialized heat pump training you will find in other courses.

In other courses we talk a lot about hydronic heating. This course is about using chilled water to provide cooling - you'll learn how these systems work, situations to avoid, and see some example systems.

This course explains the how hydronic heat emitters & distribution systems for heat pumps work. We'll dive into the weeds and look at example systems. It was designed for HVAC engineers, salespeople, and technicians.

This advanced course builds on "Geothermal Heat Pump Fundamentals". You'll learn to design geothermal systems, along with more advanced sizing and installation techniques.

This advanced course for HVAC engineers, salespeople and technicians builds on the "Air-to-Water Heat Pump Fundamentals" course.* You'll learn the technical performance and installation details for air-to-water heat pump systems.

This is a professional development course for people getting started with geothermal systems. You'll work through a series of video and reading assignments. The course finishes with a knowledge check to make sure you take away the most important concepts.

This course describes specific types and applications for air-to-water heat pumps for space heating and cooling in combination with hydronic distribution system.

Learn to design forced air distribution equipment in heat pump systems. You'll learn: ducting materials, duct system design, types of supply air diffusers and return air grills, filtering and air cleaning systems, hydronic air-handler configurations.

Standing Column Wells have been the heat exchanger of choice in the Northeast U.S. for years, but there's concern about the reliability and environmental impact of these systems. This course uses data to teach proper design of Standing Column Wells.

The Low GWP Refrigerant Safety - A2L Refrigerants examination validates that a person possesses the knowledge to safely work with low GWP refrigerants and helps reduce liability.

Learn how to share the advantages of heat pump water heaters with potential customers by addressing their needs, addressing misconceptions and obstacles for adoption, and how to leverage incentives, rebates, and financial options to assist customers.

This caters to all who are interested in seriously enhancing their knowledge and exposure to a broad spectrum of commissioning procedures supporting a wide range of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities.

This course will increase your awareness of possible hazards and important safety procedures that help prevent trenching incidents.
