Learning to install GSHP systems will keep you competitive in a market forced to deal with rising en-ergy costs and resource depletion. Installer accreditation enables you to open new markets and of-fer customers a low-maintenance, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative for their space conditioning needs. Many geothermal projects require IGSHPA Accreditation. With over fif-teen years of experience teaching these workshops, accrediting thousands of installers, and setting the industry standard, IGSHPA has maintained close ties with Oklahoma State University, and pio-neered training in Ground Source Heat Pump installation. Your workshop conductor is Lawrence Muhammad, a Certified IGSHPA Trainer, and proctor for the NATE Examination.
The three day comprehensive Installation Workshops are designed for GSHP developers, architects, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, installers, HVAC contractors, trenching/drilling contractors, and anyone who desires a working knowledge of this innovative technology. Representatives from public utilities, private utilities, and rural electric cooperatives can also benefit from training. Infor-mation gathered from the workshops can help utility representatives serve as a source of informa-
tion regarding money-saving concepts..
Upon successful completion of the workshop and passing the IGSHPA installer's exam, scored by NATE, you will be issued IGSHPA accreditation as an installer of GSHP systems. You will receive an installer's card and a certificate. In most instances, you will receive a membership with IGSHPA af-ter you have completed the Installation Workshop.
Membership in IGSHPA is required to be an Accredited Installer and maintain accreditation.
