Pumps account for over 20% of the world’s electrical energy consumption, and the potential for energy savings through correct system design, operation, and maintenance is significant. The BPMA’s suite of independent training programmes provides professionals with the up-to-date knowledge required to optimise system performance and reduce environmental impact.
Comprehensive, Industry-Recognised Training
Designed to serve all specialisms within the pump industry and its wider user base, BPMA training courses cover a wide range of technical, operational, and regulatory topics. These include pump fundamentals, system design, energy efficiency, condition monitoring, and legislative compliance. Courses are delivered in accessible formats and lead to industry-recognised qualifications that enhance workforce capability and business performance.
A Strategic Investment for Employers
For employers, investing in structured training supports greater technical competency, fewer system failures, reduced downtime, and enhanced sustainability credentials. It also helps organisations align with tightening environmental regulations and energy efficiency standards.
Wayne Rose, CEO of the BPMA, commented:
“As pumping systems become more advanced and energy performance targets more demanding, the need for qualified, knowledgeable personnel has never been greater. Our training programmes are independently developed and quality assured to provide engineers, contractors and plant operatives with the expertise required to make informed, efficient decisions across the lifecycle of a pump system. The benefits to employers and the wider economy are clear—better skills mean better outcomes, both commercially and environmentally.”
A Call to Action Across All Industries
BPMA training is open to individuals and organisations across all sectors that use pumping systems—from building services and utilities to oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and food production. It represents a strategic opportunity to upskill teams, drive operational improvements, and contribute meaningfully to the UK’s sustainability goals.
