There are three courses on offer here:
Level 2 - Understanding Domestic Retrofit
If you’re new to the world of domestic retrofit, it will give you a comprehensive and easy to follow introduction to whole-house retrofit. If you have some experience of energy efficiency projects already, it will build your knowledge to give you the bigger picture of domestic retrofit.
Learners will gain an understanding of what domestic retrofit is, what it is supposed to achieve, what you need to know when working in the industry, and what to look out for when installing energy efficiency measures in homes.
You can complete the course over a three day period, followed by a one-day tutor-led session
Level 3 - Retrofit Advisor
You must have experience working in the retrofit industry or a recognised retrofit qualification.
The role of a Retrofit Advisor is all about customer service and engagement, making the complex process of retrofit less uncomfortable and more achievable for customers.
A Level 3 Award in Domestic Retrofit Advice course lasts 4-5 days and is ideal for housing professionals becoming more heavily involved in retrofit projects
Level 4 - Retrofit Assessor
The role of a Retrofit Assessor is to survey properties and prepare a report in-line with a Retrofit Coordinator’s requirements. The report includes a full EPC, a ventilation and occupancy assessment and a condition survey. Whilst this is not a full structural survey it does however look for any signs of defects that may affect any future energy efficiency improvements, as these would need to be fixed before any improvements are made.
Successfully completing the course leads to the Level 4 Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment.
It is a blended approach, which means the knowledge content is delivered through eLearning and a half day bootcamp, where there will be a specialist tutor on hand to answer any questions.
This is an advanced qualification and could lead to a career in retrofit.
