This qualification certifies that the individual has completed an introductory-level programme designed to provide awareness and understanding of domestic retrofit and the wider energy efficiency industry.

During the course, learners gained foundational knowledge of core retrofit principles, including building fabric improvements, insulation measures, ventilation, and low-carbon heating systems. The programme introduced the importance of a whole-house approach and compliance with standards such as PAS 2035, along with an overview of property assessment and the various roles involved in the retrofit process.

Those awarded this qualification have a basic understanding of how domestic retrofit projects are assessed and delivered. Though this is an entry-level course and does not qualify individuals to carry out Retrofit Assessments, it serves as a starting point for those looking to progress into the retrofit sector and develop further, role-specific competencies.
