Begin a new career as a Domestic or a Commercial Energy Assessor Professional
The Energy Assessor College provides cutting edge, fast-track, classroom-based commercial and domestic energy assessor training courses.
Energy Assessor College training is provided in response to the European Commission’s Performance of Buildings Directive. This requires a mandatory Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to be produced whenever a building is constructed, sold or rented out.
The EPC is issued after a comprehensive assessment of the heat-loss and C02 emissions of a property and can only be carried out by accredited individuals who have undergone commercial, or domestic energy assessor training courses through organisations like Energy Assessor College.
Anyone wishing to take advantage of these sectors and a multi-revenue stream business offering will need to gain qualification (and accreditation) for each sector and become a Multi-Skilled Energy Assessor.
ABBE, the Awarding Body for the Built Environment, has been appointed by the Government to oversee the awarding of the certification for commercial, and domestic energy assessors.
At Energy Assessor College our courses lead to the ABBE Diploma in Domestic Energy Assessment and the ABBE Diploma in Non Domestic Energy Assessment.
The Energy Assessor College (a trading brand of BEST Colleges Ltd) has opened ABBE Approved Assessment centres providing commercial, and domestic energy assessor training courses in Reading, Berkshire covering Southern England & south Wales, Birmingham covering Central England & central Wales and Manchester covering Northern England and north Wales.
