Description

Non Domestic Energy Assessor - Virtual Classroom (NDEA)

Course Title: Level 4 Diploma in Non Domestic Energy Assessment

Awarding Body: ABBE

This course will be delivered via Zoom over four consecutive days with a live tutor and two interactive virtual case studies. You will be able to interact with the tutor in real-time - just as if you were sitting in the classroom.

This four-day virtual classroom-based course will give you the skills required to survey buildings and produce accurate Energy Performance Certificates (EPCS) for non-domestic buildings. EPCs are required to be produced by law when a property is sold or let.

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, known as MEES, came into force on 1st April 2018 meaning building owners may not let or renew a lease on their property if the EPC is F or G rated. From 1st April 2023, owners must not continue letting a commercial property which is already let if that property has an EPC rating of band F or G.

Once the four days are complete, students will be required to complete a portfolio of 3 example EPCs along with some other electronic assignments. Full portfolio guidance will be provided during the training sessions and each student will be assigned a personal tutor to help guide them through the process via email and telephone support.

Once qualified, candidates can become accredited with any of the UK's approved Accreditation Schemes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently took the three day DEA course. It was very well administered and run, with support aways available if needed. The presenter and support staff were excellent, obviously having extensive knowledge and practical experience of the course subject, full of useful tips and guidance of where to find information. Excellent.
