Brilliant course a must do for anyone that wants to understand hydronics and getting the best out of a heating system. Kimbo has put together a top course that's easy to follow he's a very approachable guy so you don't feel stupid asking any questions of quiries you might have. There is a lot of info to take in over the 2 days but the booklets you get covers everything you learn on the course. Cheers Kimbo

I did the hydronics course.I’ve not, in twenty years in industry been on a course that has been as informative and relevant. Kimbo is very passionate, the strategy just makes sense and the numbers stack up. As our customers ever increasingly ask how they can save on energy. We can now better design and implement better strategies, very cost effectively. I can definitely recommend it.

Can't really thank Kimbo enough for all the efforts have been put into creating such a brilliant course, absolutely amazing! Just right amount of theory to understand the physics followed by real life examples of applications to help understand boiler choice, pipe sizing, pump setting up, radiators sizing and a lot more. Heat pump retrofitting aspect was incredibly helpfull. Surely I cannot recommend it enough

I’ve spent years in the industry and over time you learn new things and gradually think you know most things that there are to know. Kimbo’s course changed my mind on that and actually proved I was only scratching the surface. What you learn in 2 days is unbelievable, his approach and charisma makes the whole thing a brilliant experience. I would recommend and will be trying to arrange for all of our engineers to get on the course. Thank you again!

I have done a few training courses recently, and by a country mile Kimbo’s Hydronics Course has been the best.I love the way it was done, a simplistic approach to the maths, processes and how and what things should be installed and why.He highlighted the facts where our industry is poor and how we can easily make a difference, saving everyone money and the planet.I am already a far better heating engineer than before, and have a clear focus on how I can get even better.There is a lot of information to digest and I would love to have another day or two.I hope this content finds itself on all apprenticeship courses soon, this stuff should be mandatory.It was delivered in a friendly dynamic environment where knowledge and experience is bounced about all over the place, Kimbo is highly knowledgeable and so enthusiastic and passionate. I’m sure he has forgotten things I don’t even know yet!I highly recommend this course.Thanks Kimbo.

Just been on the hydronics course by Kimbo. I have learnt a fantastic amount in 2 days which will help me in better understanding the relationship between pipe sizes and lengths,resistance,presure losses. Having a better grasp of pump sizing and the effects of pump speed on heaing systems. PDHW,CCT,LLH,WC,OT,PI TRV'SKimbo is enthusiastic and is quite simply the main man to speak to...Like he says ""the maths don't lie"" simplified equations without 4 decimal places. The course Will make system fault finding easier and make me think twice about pipe sizing.If I could spend a week with him(training!!) Definitely would. I cannot recommend this course enough for experienced technicians who want to learn ways to make All systems more efficient.Thanks again Kimbo

The Best 2 days training I have ever had in my 21 years in the industry.Kimbo is the most enthusiastic and passionate trainer I have ever seen. Amazing knowledge and great delivery. A lot to learn but I firmly believe the simplest way to understand and internalise. (I have completed other well know hydronic training at home through videos)It’s a long 2 days but I was still 100% focused at 5pm on day 2. Whereas most courses your struggling by 3 pm! Not this one!Well done and thank you Kimbo you are an asset to our industry.Ashley

Brilliant course and a massive eye opener on doing things the best way and being more efficient. Kim I has simplified the maths chat. Which really helps and gives people who aren’t as academic as others a good chance of understanding it all. Very knowledgeable man is kimbo and the course is taught very well. There’s a lot to digest in two days, I would happily be there all week, giving more time to take it in but also go over more renewables. Personally I think they should be implementing this in to the future teaching of level 3 heating as it would help newly qualified plumbers the correct knowledge going forward for the future of heating systems and ASHP systems. Thank you again kimbo. Great course!

I originally had a discussion with Kimbo regarding the new heat pump Apprenticeship. It then followed that I booked on his course in Bristol and travelled from Sheffield. For the entire course I was engaged and interested on all subjects. No parts were too difficult and each part was progressively introduced with a gradual increase in difficulty to further knowledge on Hydronics. I have a background in installation and training myself and I found this course to be relevant, up to date and interesting. Everyone on the course was engaged, helped each other throughout the course, and we all left satisfied.I would unreservedly recommend this course to installers that want to further their knowledge on hydronics.

I attempted this course with an open mind but sceptical to as how much I will learn and how it will benifit me. Kimbo has opened my mind to how things should be done with a bit of thought and planning my installs from now on will be a lot more environmentally friendly, cheaper for the customer to run and last longer. He has shone a light on technical specs of boilers and systems and not to be fooled by some of the all singing all dancing systems and appliances with bells and whistles that the marketing team want you to see. Going forward this course has benifited me and my future customers. Cheers Kimbo!

I had heard extremely good things about this course from multiple people, and they really wasn’t wrong! I have learnt so much, and will continue to spread the word via my socials and on Fix Radio that every heating engineer should do this course. I thought i was doing an ok job of my own work until this course and now it’s changed everything! My approach to work will be different. Kimbo explains everything so well and in real world terms, A hydronics course can seem daunting but i promise you once you do this you will have the confidence to crack on and make yourself a better engineer. Considering for myself it was a couple of days off work, plus hotel and course fees i can safely say it’s some of the best money i’ve ever invested! Top Course and thanks again Kimbo!

I’ve learnt more in the past two days with kimbo than I have done my whole career, I highly recommend any heating engineer to sign up to this course and have their minds opened up to a completely different view on plumbing. Learning how to save time as an engineer, save the customer money and help save the planet? I don’t know what more you’d need in a course! Yes it’s a long day in a classroom and I’ve never been great in that situation but Kimbo kept it interesting and engaging throughout holding my attention for that long in itself deserves a 10/10 but the knowledge this guy shares is genuinely mind blowing. Thank you for your time and knowledge Kimbo can’t wait to put everything into practice! 10/10!!!!

This is a great course that simplifies the science associated with hydronics. Kimbo is a great teacher and the class atmosphere is pretty relaxed. You’re never made to feel daft about asking any questions and Kimbo does stop periodically to make sure everyone’s keeping up which I thought was great. There’s a course book that comes with the training that is also really helpful as a point of reference as there’s a lot to take in. I found this course much more beneficial than previous online courses that I’d tried as you can actually ask questions as you go and not try and sift through various forums set up by a course to try and find an answer.

John wood plumbing Heating & RenewablesThis course is well-structured and covers a wide range of topics in a comprehensive informative yet simple way. Kimbo is able to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. The course handouts are also excellent, and they provide a valuable reference guide.One of the things that makes this course so valuable is that it covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of hydronics system design and installation. Attendees learn about the principles of hydronics, as well as how to select and size pumps, pipes, and other components. They also learn about the importance of flow velocity and pressure drop, and how to design and install LLH and ccT systems.Another great part is that he explains how to correctly balance and commission heating systems. This is an essential skill for any heating engineer, as it ensures that the system operates efficiently and reliably.Overall, the Kimbo Heating Academy course on pump sizing, pipe sizing, flow velocity, separation (LLH & ccT's), how they work, and when to use them is an excellent resource for heating engineers of all levels of experience. I  highly recommended it for anyone who wants to improve their skills and knowledge on wet heating systems.  Flow is King!!

Kimbo firstly thanks for giving us your timeI was a bit apprehensive to attend but once the first coffees were out the way and Kimbo got into his flow I was impressed and soon realised I needed to listen and absorb all I could.I’ve done all my necessary courses Bpec Heat Pump rubbish and manufacturers courses. And obviously the normal Gas Safe OFTEC ones that we need to do. But found Kimbos one of the most informative. I’ll be honest be prepared to be able to keep up with Kimbo. But the man has a lot to get across. So it was great to be taught in a manner we can understand better. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would have attended a 3 day course if it was an option. My folder I got to take away is now sitting by my side so I can refer to it as needed.Keep doing what you’re doing Kimbo the industry is all the better for having you giving back.

I had been very disappointed with the previous courses undertaken regarding energy efficiency and low temperature heating systems through Bpec.I researched Northampton Heating Academy, after coming across his twitter page. Thank god I did!This course is basic and raw in the most positive way possible. All information on the PowerPoint / handouts are all informative with no fuffler. The days are long with minimum breaks but what I have learnt in the space of two days, would have previously been a six week course.I can't thank Kimbo enough for his time and effort he puts into his classes! He goes above and beyond to help promote better practices from each of us heating engineers, while promoting thinking for ourselves and not to be blinded by brands and warrantiesCheers Kimbo.

This course should be compulsory for all heating engineers. Myself and one of our engineers attended this week and it was a real eye opener. Kimbo is a top bloke who cracks on to make sure you get as much info as possible over the two days, but will always stop and take the time to explain further if anyone is struggling. A relaxed learning environment with a great teacher to learn from. Thank you Kimbo!

Well every day is a learning day as they say, but Monday & Tuesday this week were Enlightened. I decided to plump for a couple of days training which came with no formal qualifications, however I have to say I have learnt more in those two days than I have in my last (ahem) 35+ years in this industry. I have to thankKimbo Bettyfor an engaging & humorous delivery of material which should be the foundation of all heating engineers,plumbers,gas engineers & renewable engineers every day education. Can't thank you enough and will take all the new found info rattling round in my head into my everyday work life.

I used to replace boilers and upgrade installations?I followed Kimbo Betty and Rob Berridge and was intrigued because as mentioned above I replaced boilers. Following my enrolment on both courses I now have a more fundamental understanding of hydronically separating installations using the heat academy and are getting involved on a day to day basis of being a better heat engineer. I don’t want to dismiss heat geek but for value for money. Using the Academy to be a BETTER Heat Engineer is a No Brainier. Knowledge is Key to being whom you want to be tomorrow.

Sean Keleher

What a brilliant course. This is a course everyone should get on to.The course highlights where hydronics is key now for some jobs you get involved with where the system is not working as it should, but more importantly the future understanding of the need to know more about system hydronics. It will show how important pipe sizes and rads are with low temperature systems and retrofitting a heat pump onto an existing system. You will understand how to calculate a system design with different delta T’s, hydronic separation and why a system or heat pump is not working to the efficiencies it should do, where it is down to the hydronics of the system. A very intense two days full of practical examples to go though.I would highly recommend this course.Well done Kimbo.

Well what can I say ? It's the best course I have done .I do many installation and repairs so I didn't expected to learn much. But after day 2 I have realised that I have to go long way.... Kimbo has shown to us the best practices for installation , design and more Very useful information that I simply Didn't know... After those 2days with Kimbo I have learned very much important information like sizing pipe work and boilers properly, hydrolic separation ,heat pumps and more.... Already talking to my colleagues to attend that training. Thank you Kimbo -you are Good Old school engineer with very useful practical skills... We should all be doing work properly after that knowledge....

So glad I attended this course. It is well structured and helps you understand the principles of good heating design and for me, it highlighted things I can do to further to improve efficiencies of even the simplest of boiler installs. Although the course was about hydronic separation, there is so much more to gain by realising that the “principles” we are taught when entering the heating industry are not entirely accurate. Another positive element for me was finding out about products that are now available, how they work and when they would be used. This wasn’t a sales trick but an insight into real products that will make a real improvement to our installs. I would highly recommend this course and Kimbo is a great, down to earth tutor.

I'd been trying to get onto this course for maybe a year but kept missing out but when I eventually managed to get on the course it did not disappoint. Kimbo is a really brilliant teacher, really suited my learning style and you get fantastic handouts. I'd already been doing elements of his recommendations (weather comp, PDHW) for years but never fully understood the theory behind it and now feel so much more confident selling it in and seeing where I can further tweak systems for maximum efficiency. The trick now is having the time to put this fully into practice. I cannot recommend Kimbo's course highly enough, whatever level you are at, you will learn something, just book it!

This is a really great course, if you have done or are thinking about doing Heat Geek then this covers a lot of the same stuff but in a much more comprehensible way, I think both courses complement each other really well.It's a lot to take in over two days but Kimbos's presentation and delivery are excellent making it much more fun & entertaining than this sort of thing would usually be. His pipe & pump sizing method is also much simpler than Heat Geeks & you get a handy on-site reference booklet to take away from the course which is really useful.

Hands down the best course I have done to date, with clear explanations of the maths involved.Kimbo wasted no time, no trash talk , only useful information and knowledge shared.It’s a pretty full on two days (we were warned) , packed with real life scenarios and problems.included in the course fee was a useful book of information and tables that I will definitely find useful on site.Luckily the class was full of like minded people, this made the learning process far easier.Will highly recommend your course and thanks again for sharing your knowledge

If you are taking the time to read these reviews then you have already taken the first step toward wanting to be a better engineer. I was once in your shoes and reading these reviews and decided to take the plunge.This course is absolutely spot on. Kimbo’s enthusiasm and passion for change in our industry is what attracted me to taking this course.There are far too many cowboys and combi slingers in our profession who call themselves engineers, set yourself apart from them and get booked on the course.The content is excellent and the way which it is delivered is simplified that most people will understand.It is a solid 2 days of learning but that’s what we want rather than waiting around twiddling your thumbs with endless breaks and lunches.After doing the course you really will see where we’ve all been going wrong in the past and will be capable to deliver better and more cost affective heating systems to your customers.Worth every penny and more!!

This is an awesome bit of insight to why we all have been doing things wrong for yrs !! This is the stuff that needs to be taught at college so that all the new apprentice coming through do stuff how it should be done !Kimbo has a way of getting it into you without sitting there feeling like you are being lecturedIt’s great stuff to now move and put into practice on jobsTop man Kimbo

I attended this course in Lincoln and Kimbo was absolutely fantastic. His method of teaching and his passion towards the heating industry was great. There was so much information to absorb and hardly any breaks, which was good because we are there to learn and gain as much as we can from the course. I really enjoyed it and would recommend this to anyone who wishes to gain more knowledge in the heating industry.

Wow !! What an eye-opening, humbling experience. Ive been in this industry for over 27 years and learned more about system design and more importantly how bad it actually is in this country in these 2 days than i could imagine. Thankyou Kimbo for an informative and interesting course, would say this is an essential for any heating engineers no matter how old and especially those new to the industry...

Attended this course in Sheffield - honestly pound for pound the best training I have ever had. Made me rethink everything I thought i already knew about heating systems and taught me so so much! It's an intense couple of days with a lot to get your head around - the handout you receive is well layed out, full of useful info and will serve me for years to come. Onto Kimbo, he explains things in the simplest of ways so they go in and stay there. It's an informal approach that just works for my learning style, I was worried it might be a bit powerpoint heavy but there's good balance. Not a sales pitch like some of the manufacturer courses and not a lazy couple of days of the tools with extended breaks and lunch like other courses!Every heating engineer in the country should attend and these principles should be taught from apprenticeship level going forwards.Kimbo you are a credit to our industry and hope you continue to offer this course for as long as possible. Many, many thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and wish you all the best in the future!

There was loads of sheets and time to ask questions and double check your work to make sure your understanding what is being explained.

I’ve always wanted to know how to pipe size correctly, work out heatloss calculations and strive better each day at my job. Seen that Kimbo’s course was up in my area and quickly got the last seat. WOW, was my brain crammed with so much information from Kimbo! The guy is clever, knowledgeable, passionate about the heating industry and funny aswel! He went through all the effort to dumb down so much stuff that looked like you needed a degree in rocket science to work out into a small notebook and made all the workings out for us which Is a great book to now have in my arsenal! For a little over £200 I think its a bargain. Thanks Kimbo for being 1 of 2 people in the UK who run a course on hydronics

Completed Kimbos Course yesterday and I have to say what a joy it was to be educated by someone so knowledgeable and passionate about their subject. So much information to take it but done in a way that gives you a chance. This is a course for anyone in the heating industry that wants to open their eyes as to how little they actually know and to leave with all the tools to be able to effectively design any part of a domestic system mathematically (not the guess work we’ve all been taught)Kimbo had a great sense of humour and I thoroughly enjoyed both days.

I attended Kimbo's course to understand how to connect a new UFH circuit to an existing boiler and radiator circuit in the most efficient way (i.e: running the system at low temperature). Not being an installer myself but with a background in automatic control, Kimbo's course was perfect for me. He covered all the required fundamentals with simple maths and then went on discussing practical examples. Every person who deals with heating system should attend such a course IMO. Thanks Kimbo for going out of your way to bring these much needed skills to the heating engineers community!

Having recently completed the Two-day course I am coming away with a completely fresh mindset and approach to all my work along with a healthy dose of enthusiasm!The course is very well structed, starting with the basics and moving at a steady pace, providing us with all the information we need along the way to make the most efficient and well-designed heating systems possible.The best part of the course is Kimbo himself, with a fantastic delivery you can see his passion overflowing which is infectious and really makes you engage.There are no wrong questions and no shaming if you don't know certain answers, we are all there to improve together.At the start of the year, I completed the Heat Geek course, this course focuses on peer-to-peer learning as opposed to a face-to-face classroom experience. While the Course was very informative and very immersive in the scientific approach I struggled to find where I would implement the knowledge gained in my everyday working environment. In hindsight I should have probably done this course first to give me a better understanding. I would defiantly recommend the Heat Geek course to anyone who has finished this course and wants to get into the real nitty gritty aspects of large system design and heat pump design.Top course and top bloke!Thanks, Kimbo.

I would like to say that the course provided was the most useful and relevant course I have attended.  I have worked in a few different industries and courses are quite often slow moving and a lot of irrelevant information.  This however was full on with constant relevant and useful information.  I had previously read the CIBSE book and quite honestly a lot of the information in there is very confusing without someone explaining it.  What you have done is provided all of the bits of information in an easy to use formula which makes working out flow, pump setting etc so much easier.  I did not realise how much of an effect the pump has on the overall efficiency of the system.

Kimbo has a fun teaching style but its straight to the point, fact or figure. Really a must for anyone who has been guessing pipe sizing or really wanting to up there game. 100% recommend and i already have been to other engineers! The workbook is another blessing can re-cap key points at any time without falling into 500 pages of nonsense.Wish him all the best in his endeavour of making this industry well informed.Thanks again Kimbo

Just finished Kimbos 2 day course on heating hydronic theory.Absolutely fantastic bloke and worth every penny.It is obvious from the start that Kimbo is passionate in what he preaches, he genuinely wants to be there, he wants to develop the heating engineers of the UK to do what we do better.He was so positive and forward thinking, I have come away today absolutely buzzing and feel confident to start tackling jobs with a different approach.He understands the lack of training and knowledge that most of us have never received, he understands the difficulty we get with manufacturers to give us the correct advice and what is right for the customer and not what is right for their profit margins.The content of the last couple of days has been phenomenal! A lot of information to take in and I reckon we only just managed to finish it all in time!But the content wasn’t the best bit, it’s the way it was delivered.Before attending kimbos course I enrolled on the heat geek home study course.Similar to Kimbos course some absolutely great content with the heat geek program but sometimes I struggled to follow some it as it wasn’t face to face training and was quite in depth with lots of algebra and physics, which is great but sometimes I found it difficult to sink in and took me a long time to get round to finishing it.Kimbo has taken the time to break down a lot of the confusing data from CIBSE guidelines and general correction factors for rad sizing with his own workbook, easy to follow worked examples, and loads of information on what controls and where to find them to start putting into practice what we have just learned.Kimbo being an extra military chap, has an uncanny ability to breakdown the information into something that we as engineers can absorb and relate to easily, you can tell he had to learn the hard way and he goes out of his way to make it as easy as possible for us to learn.Why is he so enthusiastic and passionate ? Because as I said earlier he massively believes in what he is doing and wants to make the whole industry better for the sake of us heating engineers, for the sake of the general public to get there heating systems working efficiently as possible and like the man himself said, to safeguard the future of his grand kids in relation to energy usage and climate change.Top bloke, top course can’t thank the man enough

Had the pleasure of attending Kimbo’s course this week in Bristol and Im very grateful he managed to squeeze me in at short notice , three words …. What A Guy The course was extremely informative , it was frightening for me to learn after 20 years in the industry of actually how little I Knew . Kimbo has a very special way of covering “all the spokes of the wheel “, it was like being sat in the Bait Room on site interacting with one of the lads . When asking questions (and I asked a lot ) , kimbo would answer in such a way that it wasn’t patronising, he genuinely wanted to help and try and make myself and others understand where he was coming from .As many will know , there’s a hell of a lot to digest and take in , what I don’t remember or unsure of I’ll try and find the answers in the booklet , and if I fail at that I’m sure Kimbo will pick up the phone if I’m desperate.As I want this review to be as honest as I can , I will say I felt that potentially the course maybe better spread out over a 2.5 - 3day rather than the 2 I had , from my perspective anyway . I think it would benefit in specific a little more time on each “spoke “ and maybe a “Q and A” at the end of each “spoke” , along with maybe and extra coffee /fag break for good measure . Myself , like many others find the classroom and alien environment, we’re used to being out on the tools grafting rather than doing sums etc , I tended to start to switch off slightly after 2 hours at a time with my mind drifting and not concentrating as best as I could have . I understand that’s a personal thing for me and not everyone. I think if it was spread out over a bit longer period then the genuine people who want to better themselves and their knowledge will happily pay extra for the pleasure of Kimbo’s Infinte knowledge on everything heating and system wise..I’m in no way criticising Kimbo or the course , and hope my words don’t come across as that,.5 star review from me Kimbo , keep doing what you’re doing , you’re and absolute character . I really think the course should be a minimum requirement for anyone wishing to work on a heating system old or new to prove competency and knowledge on what they’re actually doing when fiddling about and throwing 35kw combis in terraced houses .As a final note …………F f f f f f f f f f f f FLOW COMES FIRST, FLOW IS KING

i'm undertaking a big home renovation where i'm doing a lot of the work myself and I'm installing underfloor heating together with radiators as part of it. As i'm a novice in the heating industry with relatively basic plumbing knowledge, I have so many questions that countless hours leafing through forums and youtube videos simply do not answer. I can't explain in this short review how incredibly useful this two day course has been for me. I won't pretend I understood it all immediately, but Kim supplied us with a work booklet and course book which goes over everything. I'm working through that again so I'm getting it all now. It's no surprise this sort of stuff is hard to self-learn as so many different units of measurement are used throughout the industry. The course has been absolutely invaluable for me, at best I've learnt a huge amount and now understand loads about common domestic heating systems and how to design and install them with maximum efficiency, and at worst I now am much more aware of what I don't know (but should, and eventually will) and that is half the battle. Kim puts it all in a comical, intuitive, useful, and easy to understand way. One word i'd use to describe this course: Outstanding. Thanks Kim, please do not retire!

An absolutely outstanding course. Having spent almost two decades in the heating industry my outlook on system design, specification and Installation has changed dramatically after attending Kimbos course. Since attended the course I now have a much better appreciation for system hydronics and alternative system designs as well as a skill set i never had before when trying to identify and resolve system circulation and flow faults. If your looking to up your game regardless of your industry experience then this course is worth every penny, you won't be disappointed.

The time and effort kimbo’s put into making the hydronic’s manual is worth the price of the course alone.

I think the way to sum this course up is that out of the 14 guys on the course none of us could care less how late we finished. I have been a heating engineer for 22 years and this is by far the best course I have been on and Kim really is a treasure of our industry. I would highly recommend to anyone of any experience.

Sweltered in the classroom for two days, but worth it to learn from Kimbo Betty from Heating Academy Northampton.It's the course every heating installer should do, to fill in the gaps, the missing parts of our patchy education, to give you a stronger foundation.I only went along to learn more about sizing and understanding pump graphs, as I already knew everything else, flow, velocity, close-coupled tees, separation and PDHW.Or so I thought!Kimbo likes to see that 'lightbulb moment' when the missing pieces finally fall into place. I had a number of those moments, thanks to Kimbo the lightbulb moments were LED and not incandescent.His best asset is being able to break down really complex information into easy-to-understand lessons. The average heating installer doesn't spend his day working in kilopascals or joules, we work in litres per minute/hour and kW - and that's what makes it easy to absorb.Flow is King!Highly recommended.

This was the second time I have done Kim’s course and all I can say is it’s the best value for money course I have attended in the heating industry. I like how more content has been added over time, surely this is going to turn into a 3 day event at point? Kim’s passion for the subject is evident in the way he is able to deliver the information to eager ears in simplified easy to understand way. Worth every penny.

Turned up to find an old man that never stops talking. Kimbo looks like that engineer customer that asks you to explain every little thing you are doing. Turns out he is that kind of bloke but he has found out the information to help you understand and get answers for whatever issue you may have. Having completed a lot of training in my 12 years in the industry, I have never experienced anything like this. The information is repeated very cleverly to help you understand it. It doesnt ever feel like you are going over things repeatedly even though you are. There is always a very slight difference to the information to help you understand and get to grips with the maths behind the magic and break it down to bitesize chunks rather then overloading the brain with too much information. I just wish that kimbo could clone himself to make sure all courses were like this and our industry would be in a much better place.If you are considering booking a place then just do it. You may not use the information provided but when you do come across any issues it will help you understand why you have issues and understand the issue rather then just accepting it will be an issue forever and making the same mistakes over and over again.

I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending this course to all in the industry who want to expand their knowledge of Heating and hydronics. Kimbo instantly captivates his audience with his enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication to the Heating industry with a clear and concise delivery coupled with a friendly (your now part of my heating family) feel. Even though they are quite full on days I wished they could have continued on for longer to have the opportunity to soak up even more of his vast knowledge. I hope that the next generation of plumbing and heating engineers in this country will take the opportunity to be inspired at the beginning of their careers by industry role models like Kimbo to push carbon reduction goals using low temperature heating, push innovation, and make a real difference towards achieving a more sustainable future for us all.

This will be the best money you will spend on a course. Kim has a passion for hydronics and the ability to get the best out of it. His knowledge and delivery is spot on and the research and efforts he has put in to produce a resource for the everyday engineer is worth the course fee on its own. The amount of ‘Light Bulb’ moments when it all makes sense!! A course designed for engineers by a real engineer.I now have the knowledge and tools to put efficiency back into heating.Thanks Kimbo

Kimbo has put everything you should have been taught a long time ago and packages in a easy to understand way. The course absolutely fantastic and perfect learning environment. You need all this information to not only improve on the work you’ve been doing wrong for so long but also to improve your clients gas boiler but this knowledge is ESSENTIAL to be able to install and work on heat pumps. Get on this course yesterday!!!

Well where do start???It’s was a eye opening two days to say the least. How Kimbo delivers the message of how things should be done and a simple formula I will remember for the rest of my working life in this industry FLOW IS KING EVERY THING ELSE WORKS AROUND IT.When Kim says bring a clear head his not kidding, it’s simple but parts I didn’t understand he explained and gave examples and a true engineer that he is always willing to listen to how you would do it and why. So many things to take away. I would definitely recommend that anyone in this industry should attend this course because you will definitely come away wondering how thing you did actually work and what you should be doing.Thank you Kimbo it truly was an eye opener for me and a start to a journey to improve my self

Great course and masses of information that’s difficult to find for the average heating engineer that should be common knowledge. Make sure you come prepared as there is lots to learn on every level. A lot of the subjects are simplified brilliantly and the course handout in invaluable. A complete eye opener as to how things should be done by the maths not guessed. Kimbo shares a lot of personal experience that’s tried and tested in some of the system designs as well as other courses worth attending.Great genuine guy too!Thanks

A relentless 2 days with Kimbo, but thankfully he's a very engaging character and the topics discussed were relevant and extremely well explained. It's quite alarming once you understand the principles he teaches. It feels like it should be law that you understand these things before you go anywhere near a heating system! What it does mean is I really need to go back round all my jobs and adjust the pump!!Definitely would recommend. Many thanks!

So having just finished the 2 day hydronics course, I can honestly say its the most useful and relevant training course ive been on to date. There is a lot of content for 2 days, but Kim does his best to make it enjoyable and (relatively) easy to digest. If you're looking to expand on your knowledge of how to make the most of your heating systems, whether that's a gas boiler or a heat pump, this is definitely the course you need. Its made me want to continue 'down the rabbit hole' and try to future proof my business by staying ahead of the game, keeping my knowledge ahead of the competition and try to save customers some money and stop wasting energy in their heating systems. If youre still on the fence about this course, dont be, its well worth it.

Tony Jacobs

In my opinion, this course is a must-have for all heating engineers wishing to have a better understanding on how heating systems work and the delivery of the heat source, getting this right will play a big part in the carbon foot print and essentially the system you are installing will be running at its optimum efficiency as it was designed for, whether it is a gas boiler, heat source pump or biomass boiler, having the knowledge and understanding of system design is the absolute key for everything in heating. The knowledge and experience of the Trainer (Kim) is second to none, and although there is a lot to go over in two days, there is a wealth of knowledge to approach for guidance on the delta T Forum, you will not be alone if you need further support. I have only been in this industry for four and a half years, and I am glad that I attended this course, I was I bit apprehensive at first, but believe me its worth doing. I enjoyed every minute of this course, and it has now given me the confidence and tools I need to progress as a heating engineer. If you are thinking of doing this course then you already have the right mindset, so sign up, you will not be disappointed.I feel that this should be industry standard if we are to make a difference in our design and installation practices, don’t forget we are trying to save the planet, and save same money on our fuel bills.‘Hydronics is the Key’

Probably the best training course I have been on. Information is broken down into simple terms and lots of practical calculations done and can keep for future reference. First course that I have had a light bulb moment and solution to my own system problems. Flow, separation and cct have been programmed into my brain now. If you are a heating engineer this course is a must. Kimbo is a real character and delivers the course brilliantly. 5 stars

Great course , not sure how Kimbo can speak for that long at that pace but he did. Well done. The pace of the course was very quick and for me personally I need more time to condense things and topics . This isn't a negative reflexion on the course , I understand that Kim is trying to provide as much Information for all of us on the course as he possibly can , trying to cram 5/6 weeks of learning into two days is not easy. I would really like some kind of overview of where and when to use the tables as my memory isn't what it once was. Great course , really well delivered , a must if you care about what you do and making a difference.

I am working out how low I can reduce my own gas boiler flow temp to with the existing pipework and radiators and adjusting the pump accordingly. That will be the first of many.  I'm also now enrolling on the Heat Geek course you recommended as I want a deeper understanding of these principles.  You really are the missing link in the heating Industry.

“Forgive yourself for not knowing what you don’t know”This should be the motto for Kimbo's training courses!Within the first 10 minutes you realise that every heating installation you’ve ever done over the last 35 years is wrong. Yep they get hot and the customers are happy and the pipework is neat and tidy - But it’s wrong!I challenge you to challenge yourself. The content of this course should be the entry point for the whole plumbing and heating industry. Practical maths simply applied. It changes your whole paradigm of what a heating engineer is and what you should know.Thank you for showing me the error of my ways Kimbo  You and your course deserve industry wide recognition.

Cracking Course for anyone looking to up their game. Extremely valuable ouple of days really getting to grips with the fundamentals of hydronics. Plenty of easy formulas with practically no maths which simplifies the whole process. Cheers Kimbo@HeatingAcademy

I spent 2 days learning about stuff we should all really know . Kims way of training takes out the fear of formulas and maths and breaks it down too simple terms that makes it easiertoo understand and apply.  Get on this course!!

Mustard. Has to be said. Kim delivers real world understanding.It’s not magic - who knew - mate he has it down. Reinforced what I knew from my visit last year and upskilled on a shed load of info . It’ suits if you don’t know and it suits if you do know but want to have a deeper understanding.This should be mandatory for any Heating Engineer. . I call it as I see it .. no matter the heat source you can sort it. Just get it done and thank me later

I really enjoyed this course and feel that I left with a good amount of valuable knowledge.   Kimbo made a very simple and practical way of doing the maths for all pipe size calculations, rads, pumps and overall heating system. Once you get the hang of it, you can really save time and money by applying this method.    Being a gas engineer for 9 years I realised after attending this course that I should have done this course first, then anything else related to heating and plumbing.   Kimbo has a great sense of humour and is very passionate about what he’s teaching, this made the course very engaging and fun!Top man, top course!

Big Thanks to Kimbo @HeatingAcademy for the quality training he put on over the last couple of days. A realistic practical look at system design & how we can retrofit ASHP properly.  I've done the one day course before, but its definitely worth having a refresher & a second look at things.  Highly Recommended

Cracking couple of days at Kimbo's course, I would highly recommend it to anyone. Perfect idea to hire a house with a fellow installer and have a good crack at same time.

The course is very good. It's quite intense 2 days and even tea breaks are spent still talking about the subject of the course most of the time. Kimbo is very passionate about the subject of system design and heating and it clearly shows that he loves teaching. The delivery is clear and concise and you can tell that he has been refining his methods and knows how make even the slowest of us understand the concepts.I only wish I had done this course ages ago.

Kimbo has managed to get inside the head of the average plumber / Heating Engineer and find out how he thinks. His course is all based on simple maths we can understand (not for men with tall foreheads).  This course will give you the knowledge and knowhow to design and install a heating system correctly.  The day after completing the course I saved the cost of the course on a job I had already priced by applying Kimbo's suggestions.

This is my second visit to Kimbo's course and the two day course goes into even more depth especially when looking at trying to install heat pumps to an existing install.Kim has done all the hard work to make a difficult area of our industry as easy as possible to learn.Really good to have a passionate teacher offering his time to us all and i highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve.

A must do course for any installer wanting to advance his game. Face to face training, which in my opinion is the best way and my preferred method. Any questions Kim is ready to answer, good pace all the way through so no fear of getting left behind. Great literature you get to take home to reference to in future. You will leave a different person. So good I’ve been twice!!

This is the second time I've attended one of Kim's courses.This was a two day course that really broke down the fundamental elements that are essential for efficient heating and low temperature design.Kim has a very rare quality in teaching of being able to explain very complex theories in easy to understand terms.I thoroughly recommend this training to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of heating or transition into Heat Pump system design and installation.

Cant recommend this course enough!! I have spent many hours trying to understand pipe, pump and radiator sizing. Kim has basically done all the hard work and converted the maths to basic engineer format. The course will defiantly give you the confidence to design bigger systems and get involved with renewable technology.Met some great people and had a great laugh.Thanks Kimbo

That’s the second time I’ve been on this course. First one blew my mind and sent me down the hydronics rabbit hole. The course has now been extended to 2 days and has been refined to perfection. From 8:30-6/7pm (9pm first night), flew by. Was great being on a course with like-minded individuals that are keen to learn.Hydronics simplified. In my opinion, this is a must before even thinking of fitting a heat pump. The system design for these systems is critical.

This is the second time I've done Kimbo's heating design course. His passion for this subject shines through as he breaks down all the BS we have been led to believe in the heating industry.He unlocks the mysteries around flow, dT, pump sizing and so much more.Get yourself on this course and be a proper heating engineer with the right tools to design and diagnose problems with heating systems and get them working more efficiently. Now over 2 days which makes things flow nicely. Thank you Kimbo

I cannot recommend this course enough, although this is much more than the dry ACS or box ticking courses that you are used to. This is face to face time with a mentor who has passion about getting heating system actually running efficiently, not in a theoretical or throw lots of money at it way but small changes that have a big impact. This is the knowledge that we all should have had fifteen years ago when the industry shifted to condensing boilers but no one told us. And the fact you are learning not from just Kimbo but your peers whom you are sharing the learning experience with. Sharing ideas with others on the same journey takes you away from what you may remember at school and makes you actually learn the way things should be done. I could wax lyrical about the value of this course but the best thing to do is just jump in and get on it. Join the others who have been enlightened by the basic principles as engineers we can all master and use on any job large or small. Thanks Kimbo for sharing your knowledge with us and breaking it down for us normal folk!

How does anyone get boilers running at their A-rated efficiency if they haven't attended Kimbo's course? A determined handful of installers worked it out for themselves, everyone else, including consumers, are completely in the dark because gas boilers still work even when set up poorly. If you do not know the role that heat loss, pump setting, pipe resistance and flow rates play when you specify, fit and commission a boiler, you are missing the skills and knowledge you need to fit gas boilers as they were designed to run. Do this course! You'll have many light bulb moments and you will start your career afresh with the knowledge you need now and in the future as we move to low carbon heat sources.
