Testimonials from Previous Participants
What
a great business investment. We have now switched our company focus
from standard hydronic heating to that of a geoexchange / hydronics
specialist. It has provided us with a real point of difference in a very
competitive market and opened a whole new world of opportunity.
Paul, GeoClimate Systems (formerly Ulysses Heating).
I
attended some of the original IGSHPA training courses in the US back in
the early 1990s and have been in the industry for twenty years. The
opportunity to upgrade my skills and attend metric-based courses with
GeoExchange Australia was too great to refuse.
Richard, Geothermal Services
I
attended the WaterFurnace and GeoExchange training courses in Melbourne
in November 2008. Both courses were technically comprehensive and
provided me with the skills to get started in this rapidly expanding
industry. The post course support to assist us with our first projects
has been invaluable.
