Instantor Brings Hands-on Training to Colleges

Instantor, a leading manufacturer of high-quality plumbing products, is investing in the next generation of professional plumbers by bringing hands-on training directly to colleges. Utilising its Mobile Training Academy, Instantor has already visited 20 colleges, delivering practical, skills-focused sessions to students preparing to enter the industry.

During a recent visit to Southern Regional College in Portadown, Northern Ireland, Instantor introduced students to its Instantor Press Fittings and Multilayer Pipe (MLCP), Copper Press Fittings, and PAKTERMO CSST for gas installations. An expert trainer from Instantor delivered hands-on training across the various press solutions to students at different stages of their apprenticeship. Each learner had the opportunity to create a correct press joint using an Instantor Press Tool.

Paul Carey, Lecturer, Southern Regional College, comments: “The apprentices thoroughly enjoyed the training delivered by Instantor. The Mobile Training Academy was excellent and really well equipped, and I hope we have the opportunity to benefit from it again. It’s fantastic for the college to host demonstrations from market-leading manufacturers. It gives apprentices the chance to learn innovative installation techniques first-hand and be enthused by the latest products available to plumbers.”

Another recent stop for Instantor was Belfast Metropolitan College, where students were given an overview of the history of Instantor’s press fit solutions and shown the key benefits of the company’s fittings through live demonstrations. Groups of Level 2 and Level 3 plumbing students were then given the opportunity to trial the Instantor Press Tool and complete several joints.

Stephen Casement, Lecturer, Belfast Metropolitan College, says: “Our staff and students were very impressed by the presentation. Mark Mills [Area Sales & Business Development Manager, Instantor] delivered the training and certainly knows his product. He was brilliant at encouraging the students to participate and engage in the session. It was a fantastic opportunity for the college to host an industry expert and demonstrate such high-profile products.”

Mark Mills adds: “The Instantor Mobile Training Academy is a real asset for us, and it’s been great to host a series of training sessions at colleges recently. It is vital that we support the next generation of plumbing and heating engineers. The vehicle enables us to bring our state-of-the-art training to the doorsteps of colleges, giving students and apprentices the opportunity to gain experience on the benefits of press fittings first-hand. Inspiring young installers is an exciting prospect, and we look forward to having more opportunities to do so throughout 2026.”
