Property Services - DEA Level 3

City & Guilds Level 3

Energy Assessors wishing to produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for existing homes will need to gain the level 3 Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment. This will allow them to become accredited as Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs).  All homes now require an EPC when sold or rented to a new tenant.

This course is also ideal for those looking to progress to roles in commercial energy assessment and Green Deal energy advising.

The course includes full training in the RdSAP methodology used to assess existing homes and in the use of EPC reporting  software to produce the EPC. It also includes the opportunity to gain practical skills and assess real properties under the guidance of our experienced course trainers.

The course consists of 4 mandatory units and 1 option unit:

• Conduct energy assessments in a safe, effective and professional manner
• Prepare for energy assessments of domestic property
• Undertake energy inspections
• Produce and issue energy performance certificates relating to domestic property
• Identify representative properties for sampling

Learners will be allocated a personal assessor and supplied with all the necessary reading and assessment material. Upon enrolment, the learner will be required to undertake a period of self study from the resources we provide. It is expected this can take between 40 and 60 hours but depends on the progress the learner makes.       

Learners will then attend a 5-day practical training course at one of our training centres either across a full week (Monday to Friday) or across three weekends (Friday & Saturday). This will cover all aspects of the course, introducing the elements of RdSAP and practical training in EPC’s and data completion. During the course each learner will visit three local properties and produce an EPC for each of them.

Assessment is by completing assignments laid down by the awarding organisation and by compiling a portfolio of evidence demonstrating the learner’s ability to conduct energy assessments on a range of properties.

If you wish to enrol 6 or more learners from a single organisation, we can arrange to come to your own premises to deliver the necessary assessment and training days.

As a large part of the course involves collecting evidence and assessment, learners will need to have access to a number of properties where this can be done.  They will also need to allocate some time for organising and planning their course work and progression.

There are no formal entry requirements for learners undertaking this qualification however, as a centre, we would need to ensure that the learner has the potential and opportunity to successfully gain the qualification.

Good levels of English and Maths plus a basic level of IT skills would also be desirable.

Training would be delivered within one of our training centres:

• Rayleigh
• Chelmsford

It is anticipated that the length of the programme will be 2 to 6 months although this will depend on the learner’s progress through the course and access to the required range of properties to fulfil the qualification requirements.
