Training Matrix

Retrofit Advisors (RAds) will be expected to log their training in a manor which is similar to the example provided below.

A full version of the document can be found here: Training Spreadsheet 

 

Please note: 

• this log is a living document that should be populated with new courses as and when appropriate. 
• It should also be monitored and kept up-to-date by the respective organisations of the LEAD consortium.  
• In order to demonstrate the required level of knowledge and expertise for their roles, Retrofit Advisors will need to meet the pre-requisites in accordance with either of the 3 separate pathways below: 
  1. 1. Minimum Requirements (mandatory):
        • City and Guilds Level 3 in Energy Awareness
        • Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings Level 3 Award 
        • new Retrofit Advisors are expected to shadow experienced advisors for a minimum number of 5 visits. 
        • existing Retrofit Advisors must keep their knowledge current through CPD (workshops, new courses, etc…) to be logged in the Training Matrix. 
     2. Direct route:
        • Level 3 Certificate for Retrofit Advisors as and when this course becomes available.   
     3. Nice to have:
        • there seems to be a consensus amongst RAds that the Level 3 Domestic Energy Assessment (DEA)  training would be very valuable.
        • In a similar vein, Level 4 Domestic Retrofit Assessment and Level 5 in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management should also more than adequately provide a good level of knowledge.
