Welcome to Green Qual (part of Property & Training Solutions) and congratulations on your decision to become a Domestic Energy Assessor.

The documents below make up your training package, which you will need to read and fully understand (including going through and accurately answering the self-test questions at the end of each section).

The course has been designed in order for you to get the most out of the qualification and it is important that you make and spend enough time on each of the areas to ensure that you are fully competent when completing your portfolio and sitting the exam. Your designated tutor will assist you with your learning and will test your knowledge throughout the training programme to ensure that you are adequately prepared. If (s)he does not feel that you are ready to progress to the next stage, (s)he will ask you to re-visit any areas that you are struggling with.

The qualification is split up into 5 units, which the ABBE has recommended 260 notional hours of guided learning, these units and their associated learning hours are set out in the qualification handbook provided as part of your introduction pack.

We would also like to draw your attention to the ABBE’s recommended reading list supplied as part of your introductory pack. Although it is not a prerequisite to read these books it would certainly be advantageous to do so.
