Sevenoaks Energy Academy - Winners of Renewable Training Initiative at the Renewables Roadshow Awards 2012

‘With an insistence on quality and a dedication to making training available at a competitive cost, this business had the edge. Victory was sealed through the simultaneous addition of further centres and Green Deal assessments.’

Only authorised Green Deal Installers may install energy improvements under the Green Deal finance mechanism, and Plumb Center is working with NAPIT to enable current
heating installers to build on their existing skills by gaining Green Deal Installer accreditation.

However, Plumb Center believes that the best way of delivering a successful Green Deal will be for the Green Deal Installer also to act as a Green Deal Advisor – who will carry
out a qualifying assessment of the property, and recommend measures to be installed. The person best placed to do this, in the opinion of Plumb Center, is the heating installer. 

The new Green Deal Advisor course, specially developed by Plumb Center and its training partner Sevenoaks Energy Academy, involves both in-house training and some home study. This will give all the knowledge needed to produce an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and a Green Deal assessment.

There are no pre-course requirements for the standard course, which lasts seven days. However, if a person works as an electrician, level 3 domestic plumbing or heating
engineer, gas engineer, MCS installer, air conditioning engineer or structural engineer, they will already have some of the knowledge and skills required. Therefore for those engineers who are Gas Safe registered or Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certified, a shorter five day course is offered. Plumb Center also offers a shorter
Green Deal Advisor course for certified Domestic Energy Assessors.

Simon Allan, Plumb Center’s Renewables Director said: “We’ve developed this course in
response to demand from our customers. They see the potential in Green Deal, and want to get their Green Deal training and other support from a company they know and trust, rather than people they’ve never heard of.

“The Plumb Center course is structured as a mixture of remote learning and classroom modules, to reduce the cost of gaining the Advisor qualification, and to minimise
disruption to the trainee’s business. It is important to remember, when comparing various courses, that the Plumb Center costs include the Green Deal Advisor Qualification and a bespoke software package to enable completion of a Green Deal assessment.”

Plumb Center has already trained more than 600 people to BPEC and NICEIC-recognised qualifications in renewables technologies at its nationwide network of seven training centres. An eighth centre is soon to open in Falkirk.

Anyone interested in registering for the Plumb Center Green Deal Advisor course is advised to call Plumb Center on 0845 287 1970.

• The Plumb Center Green Deal Advisor course costs £1,359+VAT (five days),  or £1,725+VAT (seven days). 

Intensive morning and afternoon sessions were held during August at venues in Waltham Abbey, Bristol, Grangemouth and Leeds, with attendees receiving presentations and having the opportunity to discuss their individual circumstances.

The presentations were delivered by by Tim Pollard, Plumb Center’s Head of Sustainability, Richard Gould of NAPIT and Andy Brown  from eTech, who developed the software for Plumb Center’s Green Deal assessment i-Pad application.

Tim Pollard said: “We’ve had a great reaction to the open days at all four venues. There’s a genuine interest from our customers in Green Deal, but also a great deal of confusion, which I hope we’ve been able to dispel.”

Plumb Center’s open days attracted a wide cross-section of visitors, but the majority were installers.  “The interest has been such that we’ve filled these events by word-of-mouth through local Plumb Center branches”, added Tim Pollard. “This confirms our belief that the small heating installation business will be the key to the success of Green Deal.

Many new players have appeared recently offering Green Deal training and other services.  We are finding that installers welcome the involvement of an established, reputable brand such as Plumb Center. We’re someone they trust to help them to maximise their potential business.” Plumb Center is guiding businesses that wish to become authorised Green Deal Installers to gain the required certification. It is also adding a Green Deal Advisor course to its range of accredited renewables courses already on offer. Catering for those with no relevant experience, and for skilled installers with Level 3 plumbing and heating knowledge, this course will be available at Plumb Center’s seven training centres across the UK.

“These open days have given our customers a clearer picture of what’s involved in Green Deal,” added Tim Pollard. “It also gave them plenty to think about in terms of how they will be involved in the scheme.  Encouragingly, a number of installers actually signed up for the Plumb Center Green Deal Advisor course.”
