Darren Jones, MP for Bristol North West, has visited the NAPIT Training Centre in Avonmouth to see the work being done to train and upskill electricians and installers of low carbon technologies.
NAPIT, a UK-based certification and registration body for electrical, plumbing, heating, and renewable energy installers and contractors, represents over 20,000 skilled installers across the UK’s electrical, heating, plumbing, ventilation, microgeneration, and building fabric sectors, and has been in the electrical industry for over 30 years.
The training centre offers courses in solar PV, fire detection, and fire alarm systems, energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging installations, and essential electrical safety and regulations.
Stephen Melton, Commercial and Compliance Director at NAPIT, says, “We are grateful to Mr Jones for taking the time to visit our centre in his constituency.
“NAPIT and its members will be key to ensuring there are sufficient skilled installers in the electrical, heating, plumbing, ventilation, microgeneration trades and will be on the front line of the transition to Net Zero.
“We are keen to promote the growth opportunities to our members from the Government’s housebuilding and clean energy initiatives and are pleased to be able to support those wanting to upskill and take advantage of those opportunities here in Bristol.”
Darren Jones MP comments, “The transition to Net Zero is in the DNA of this government because it is the route to energy security, lower bills, and good jobs for this country.
“I was delighted to hear about the work that NAPIT is doing here in Bristol North West to certify, train, and upskill people for the skilled jobs that will be created.”
