Green Skills

The Domestic Energy Assessment Skills Bootcamp is a flexible, 8-day training programme delivered over a 16-week period, allowing you to upskill at a pace that fits around your existing work and commitments. Designed for those looking to enter or progress within the energy and construction sectors, this bootcamp equips learners with the knowledge and practical skills required to support energy efficiency improvement projects in domestic buildings. 

Qualifications include the ABBE Level 3 Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment (Accredited) 

You will learn how to collect and analyse property data, understand building structures, property types, and construction methods, use RdSAP software to assess existing properties and produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and gain knowledge of building regulations, property ages, and construction variations 

Learners will also develop practical skills in measuring properties and drawing floor plans, assessing conservatories, flats, and different roof types, including loft conversions and much more.

The Ventilation Systems Skills Bootcamp is designed for professionals already working within the building services sector who hold a minimum of NVQ Level 2 in their chosen trade.

This programme covers both domestic and commercial ventilation systems and is ideal for those involved in the installation, servicing, and maintenance of ventilation systems. It equips learners with the skills needed to assess ventilation requirements and carry out design, installation, testing, commissioning, handover, servicing, and fault-finding in line with National Occupational Standards. 

Participants will gain 40 CPD points, support ongoing professional development and enhance occupational competence. The course focuses on both the ‘air’ and ‘wet’ sides of ventilation systems, while excluding refrigerant-based works such as chillers and heat pumps.  

This Skills Bootcamps provides a comprehensive pathway to upskilling in ventilation and HVAC systems, helping experienced engineers expand their capabilities, meet regulatory standards, and deliver safe, efficient, and compliant systems across domestic and commercial environments.

This specialist renewable energy programme combines industry-recognised qualifications, providing a structured and practical pathway into solar photovoltaic (PV) and Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) technologies.   

 Designed for qualified electricians and electrical professionals, the training develops the technical knowledge and hands-on skills required to design, install, commission, inspect, test and maintain solar PV and battery storage systems while working towards the competence requirements associated with MCS-certified renewable energy installations.   

 Throughout the programme, the emphasis is on practical application. Rather than studying technologies in isolation, you’ll develop an understanding of how solar generation and energy storage systems work together within a complete renewable energy installation. By the end of the training, you’ll have the confidence to work with solar PV arrays, battery storage technologies, associated electrical systems and monitoring solutions in real-world environments.

This specialist Skills Bootcamp provides a practical and industry-focused route into welding and fabrication, equipping learners with the technical knowledge and hands-on skills required to work safely and effectively within the engineering, manufacturing, construction and energy sectors.  

This Skills Bootcamp is designed for individuals with a basic understanding of welding processes and equipment, although applicants without a formal Level 1 qualification may be considered following an initial skills assessment and discussion with a technical tutor.   

Successful completion of the programme can support progression into welding and fabrication roles across the construction, manufacturing, engineering, utilities and energy sectors.   

Learners may also choose to continue their development through advanced welding qualifications or specialist disciplines supporting areas such as heat networks, district heating infrastructure, renewable energy and industrial process systems. As investment in low-carbon infrastructure continues to increase, skilled welders are expected to play a key role in the fabrication and installation of critical energy systems.
