DEA Training - get the ABBE Diploma
| No abstract theory. Just relevant know-how Our training courses are lively, stretching and structured around clear learning objectives. Every tutor is hand-picked; many are recognised industry leaders. All are passionate about best practice in their professional speciality. |
The ABBE Level 3 Diploma in Domestic Energy Assessment is technically demanding. You will need to convince your VRQ Assessor that you have the skills, knowledge and understanding to deliver accurate energy ratings, provide recommendations for improvement, and to do so with high levels of regard for health and safety and customer satisfaction.
All EPCs issued as part of the HIP will be part of an accreditation scheme that will impose a rigorous quality assurance standard. A sample of each DEA’s EPCs will be reassessed to check for accuracy. As such, DEAs will have to work to the very highest standards.
We offer three DEA training and assessment packages to suit the experience of the candidate. They are based around the following four training components, each of which lasts for 2 days. Once you join a programme, each component is delivered in roughly two-week intervals. Training is delivered in Milton Keynes (predominantly at our dedicated training suite at the National Energy Centre) and you can choose to come on either a weekday or a weekend.
Component 1 (Required for all candidates) - 2 days of lectures and practical workshops Introduces you to units 1 and 2 of the National Occupational Standards and provides you with practical information on how you can upload evidence of compliance. Our experience with assessing 1,400 Home Inspectors is that this is absolutely essential, and without practical guidance most candidates find it very difficult to progress. What you will learn and achieve:
|
Component 2 (Optional for experienced practitioners) - 2 days of lectures and practical exercises Provides a broad understanding of basic construction theory, thermal theory and the principles of energy efficiency in residential properties. What you will learn and achieve:
|
Component 3 (Optional for experienced practitioners with extensive experience of energy rating) - 2 days of small-group workshops and house visits Limited to just 15 participants, this component is delivered via interactive workshops with a lot of emphasis placed on surveying real houses, using the software and actually producing EPCs. What you will learn and achieve:
|
Component 4 (Required for all candidates) - 2 days of small interactive workshops, and an accompanied survey Consolidates your knowledge and provides additional skills such as non-standard properties, unusual features and building integrated renewable energy technology, so that you can undertake assessments with confidence. What you will learn and achieve:
