Our Aim Our aim is dedicated to assisting installers and service technicians working in the energy field, in achieving the highest possible standards through a theoretical and practical approach to training using the most up to-date equipment and technology available.
Company Overview
METAC Training is the largest energy training and assessment centre in the UK and Ireland and trains approximately 1,700 people annually. Our realistic training facilities equip people with practical skills for the modern workforce that are nationally recognised by FAS, FETAC, City & Guilds, UKAS, Bord Gais and OFTEC amongst others. All courses we run are independently certified and verified by external agencies. All the administration and management of our certified courses is managed directly by our administration personnel. The company was established in 2006 by Dominic Dunne, an installer himself by trade, who saw a gap in the market for a training facility which would permit a high degree of live and simulated training which effectively reflects an authentic work environment. METAC Training is renowned in the energy industry for our specialist training in Renewable Energy, Gas and Oil as well as Sustainable Systems such as Rainwater Harvesting. Our trainers all work in the industries both nationally and internationally in which they train which ensures they are up-to-date with the latest technologies and issues that participants may face on a daily basis. They continually revise and update their skills to ensure they impart the latest knowledge to participants.
Facilities
Our centre based in Mountrath, Co. Laois is equipped with 12 theory rooms, 10 practical rooms, 2 canteens and on-site parking. It is fully insured for the training of individuals/organisations and built to comply with all fire and safety regulations.
