Commercial Energy Assessor Course – Level 3

This new 5-day course is designed for Home Inspectors and Domestic Energy Assessors to qualify as Commercial Energy Assessors able to carry out Energy Assessments for around 70% of commercial properties, as required from 1st October 2008.

This qualification is the first of a series of courses aimed at providing qualifying trainees with additional income streams.

What is the qualification?

ABBE Diploma in Non-Domestic Energy Assessment Level 3 (Dip NDEA).

To qualify trainees must complete the Course, pass the ABBE exam and have a Portfolio of Evidence successfully Assessed that includes 3 Energy Assessments on a range of commercial buildings – at least 1 is done during training.
