Elmhurst’s ABBE (Awarding Body of the Built Environment) qualification course provides a fantastic opportunity for those completely new to and familiar with the world of energy and building assessment, to become fully qualified Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs).
This online course is delivered live by our expert trainers via zoom, for delegates to enjoy from the comfort of their home or office.
Although this course is predominantly online, you will be required to complete test EPC’s away from the course as part of your assessed portfolio. This will demonstrate that you have the practical know how to complete energy assessments of Domestic properties.
Once you have passed your portfolio you will be awarded with the ABBE Level 3 certificate, and will be eligible to join Elmhurst’s leading DEA Accreditation scheme.
