ABBE Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment Level 3

In a nutshell

This is a professional qualification for those who wish to pursue a career as a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). Once qualified, DEAs register with an Accreditation Scheme which accredits them to produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for individual existing homes (not newly built). This is in accordance with legislation implementing the EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings.

The qualifications that ABBE offer are suitable for preparing to work in a sector, for starting your career and/or for professional development. ABBE works directly with training centres and employers to develop bespoke qualifications to meet the specific needs of their learners and employees.
