Lecturer Mr Hyde said the majority of the college's apprentices were still choosing to focus on training for gas boilers, "but that is something that is going to change". "There's going to be plenty of work to do keeping the old boilers going, but with also the knowledge that is required for heat pumps and all the renewables," he added.Richard Hauxwell-Baldwin said more needed to be done to encourage the training of renewable energy engineers
