Welcome to h2x University. Here, you'll get straight to the good stuff: practical skills for real-world work.
Our courses are cut to fit into tight schedules, with each module designed to be completed in about 60 minutes.
No fluff, just focused learning to help you understand the technical side of things and improve at using the software.
After you've run through the module, there's a quick test to ensure you've got the hang of it.
The test takes 15 minutes. Pass that, and you'll get a certificate to show you know your stuff. All provided at no cost!
Reviews:
"Completed the Heat Loss and Heating System modules, really useful training videos and great format. Explained brilliantly and makes it dead easy to use."
"This h2x Uni platform is really good, short videos to follow along to, a few questions to make sure you've understood the module, and a nice shiny certificate at the end."
"The training modules make it dead easy, and using it going forward for checking existing pipe work and rads etc. for heat pump suitability is a big win. Strongly recommend it."
"Just finished the first few modules, fantastic learning tool and brilliantly laid out and explained. Been using h2x a while and love it - this has even taught me a couple of new tricks!"
