Green Deal Advisor Training
Asset Skills is working with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to train 'go early' Green Deal Advisors to help gear up for the launch of the Green Deal in the autumn.
To become one of the first Green Deal Advisors (domestic and non-domestic), energy assessors or home inspectors will need to train for a new qualification, available in July.
Asset Skills want to hear from qualified energy assessors and home inspectors in England, Wales and Scotland who would like to train for the role.
Training will start in July and take between three and five months. Delivery models will vary and some will include distance learning. Funding is available but a contribution from the learner will also be required.*
If you are interested in training as a Green Deal Advisor please register your interest on the Asset skills website or email [email protected]
Asset Skills will need confirmation that you are an energy assessor or home inspector, as well as your contact and location details.
*Full cost not yet known but will be confirmed after learning providers are appointed.
Background
Asset Skills has received £1 million to ensure that there are at least 1,000 qualified Green Deal Advisors gearing up ready for the launch of Green Deal.
This is part of a £3.5 million fund secured to raise awareness of the training needed to be sure advisors and installers are fully accredited to secure work under the new Green Deal.
In short you agree to train for something that hasn't been agreed, at an unknown cost and which will take you longer to complete than the deadline for kicking off the project, but the companies providing the unknown training have been given £3.5 million so the gov't don't look as though they aren't prepared. I think DEA's will be very wary about HIP V 2!!
