The training programme will be delivered by our partner training provider The STC Group, on behalf of Bedfordshire Employment and Skills Academy.

This programme is open to all those currently working in the retrofit/construction industry and to those wishing to change career and enter the green construction space.
The courses include:
- Level 2 – Understanding Domestic Retrofit (1 week)
- Level 3 – Domestic Retrofit Advice (2 weeks)
- Level 4 – Award in Assessing Domestic Dwellings for Retrofit (3 weeks)
The programme has been made possible due to government funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund allocated from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
