Home & Community Energy Advisor
The Department for Community and Local Government (CLG) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have identified a need for trained, independent advisors to advise on home energy efficiency measures. The National Occupational Standards (NOS) for two new qualifications have been developed for two new roles namely, Home Energy Advisors (HEAs) and Commercial Energy Advisors (CEAs) and the qualification becomes available from the 1st October.
As the only likely opportunities for Energy Advisors will be as employees of the power companies or councils, each of whom train their own staff, we have decided not to offer this course to the general public at this stage. This situation, in particular the work prospects for qualified individuals, will be kept under review.
