LEARNER
OF THE MONTH
DECEMBER/JANUARY WINNER
KIERAN BYRON
OLDHAM COLLEGE
Kieran is studying towards his Level 3 Advanced Plumbing and Gas qualification while also completing an apprenticeship at Mellor Plumbing, Heating and Renewable Energy. Kieran said, “The work I submitted consisted of an air source heat pump plant room with an unvented hot water cylinder. The system fed radiators, underfloor heating and air conditioning units, capable of both heating and cooling. I took my time and worked hard and this award validates that effort.”
We’re sure the Baxi workwear bundle Keiron won will be getting good use every day! James is studying Level 3 Plumbing as well as completing an apprenticeship with Pole and John Plumbing Contractors LTD. He told us, “Winning the award gave me a boost and made me feel proud that people actually liked my work. Being able to step back on a job, look at your work and be happy to put your name to it is a pretty good feeling to me.”
James says he’s treating himself to some new tools and working on his fitness thanks to his Alpha Heating Innovation donated prize.
