What is a Green Deal Advisor & what training do you need to get involved?

Green Deal Advisors (GDAs) will provide information and support to householders to help them improve their energy efficiency, thereby reducing their fuel bills and carbon emissions.

As part of the Home Energy Savings (HES) programme to move the UK towards becoming a low carbon economy, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) have jointly published a consultation on 'Heat and Energy Saving Strategy'. This document sets out the Government's vision up to 2020 and beyond, with the Green Deal at the heart of this vision.

The Green Deal will allow individuals and businesses to make energy efficiency improvements to their buildings at no upfront cost. Central to the Green Deal is a finance mechanism that will allow access to the finance needed for the improvements, with repayment being made in installments linked to utility bills based on the cost-savings that the installed measures achieve - effectively meaning that consumers will pay-as-they-save.

The domestic Green Deal Advisor (GDA) role more specifically will be to identify and promote how individual householders can reduce their energy usage through changes to their property (e.g. getting cavity wall insulation or renewable energy technologies installed) and changes to their energy consumption behaviour (e.g. not leaving the TV or other equipment on standby).

To get involved, participants will require Green Deal Advisor (Green Deal Assessor) training. Only qualified Green Deal Advisors (also known as Green Deal Assessors) will be able to undertake this work and provide customers with access to this funding.

To become a qualified Advisor, each individual must hold the level 3 Diploma in Domestic Green Deal Advice. Green Qual offer training courses across the UK to help new entrants and existing DEAs to get to the required standard.

Not only is the Green Deal a great offer for customers; it is also a great opportunity for firms to compete in a new market. The DECC has indicated that the Green Deal will drive billions of pounds of investment in energy efficiency measures over the next decade - but only those who have undergone the relevant type of training will be able to get involved.

Who is the Green Deal Advisor (Green Deal Assessor) training course suitable for?

This green deal assessor training course is ideal for anyone looking to get involved in the Green Deal, both new entrants and existing energy professionals (such as DEAs).

 

What will the Green Deal Advisor (Green Deal Assessor) training cover?

Candidates interested in Green Deal Advisor / Green Deal Assessor training, may also wish to learn more about the previous proposals for Community Energy Advisors, which was proposed to be a more extensive role offering energy advice at a community level (as opposed to the individual home level).
