Energy Assessor Training
EN-RG Assessors along with Alan Pither Ltd can provide you with an opportunity to qualify as a Domestic and Non Domestic (Commercial) Energy assessor.
Courses are run periodically when interest is shown by a number of people wishing to gain one of these qualifications.
For Local Authorities and Housing Associations who wish to train their own staff to become Energy Assessors, we are able to provide training 'in house'. We offer three day courses culminating in an online examination at a venue provided by your organisation.
Part of the course includes the completion of a portfolio of work, which includes some practice EPCs, in a postal correspondence format. When the work is completed to the required standard, and the portfolio submitted, we are also able award the appropriate qualification through the City and Guilds Examination Board.
