Retrofit Training Courses With Train 4 Growth
Looking to build a career in the fast-growing retrofit sector?
Retrofit training gives you the qualifications needed to bring UK homes up to modern energy standards.
With the government’s target for all homes to reach EPC band C by 2030 and the introduction of PAS 2035 standards, skilled retrofit professionals are in huge demand.
From insulation and building treatments to site management and retrofit coordination, Train 4 Growth offers nationally recognised NVQs and retrofit qualifications to help you get qualified and progress in this sector.
What is retrofit training?
Retrofit is all about upgrading existing homes and buildings so they are more energy efficient, comfortable, and sustainable. The work varies depending on property type and age — it could mean anything from fitting insulation and upgrading windows, to installing solar panels, energy-efficient heating systems, or smart meters.
With around 70% of UK housing stock in need of retrofit work, thousands of skilled workers are needed. This is where retrofit training and NVQ qualifications come in. They ensure the work is done to the required PAS 2035 standards and opens doors to new job opportunities across construction and green occupations.
Wide range of retrofit training courses available
Train 4 growth offer a range of retrofit qualifications that support the UK’s need to become net-zero by 2050 and aim to support candidates looking to enter or up-skill within this sector further to the government conducted ‘every home counts review’ and its subsequent introduction of PAS 2035.
PAS Certification
PAS 2035 sets out a standard for retrofitting domestic properties and allows retrofit coordinators to take a holistic approach when implementing sustainable retrofitting techniques. In addition to the type of work carried out, PAS 2035 also ensures that this work is of an acceptable standard. The work should therefore be assessed by an accredited retrofit assessor. Please feel free to call us to discuss your requirements and for further advice and our helpful team will assist.
