Become a Certified Retrofit Coordinator

The Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Assessment is a nationally recognised qualification, tailored for professionals who already hold a Level 3 (or equivalent) qualification in a built environment discipline—such as construction, surveying, or architecture.

As the demand for energy-efficient homes continues to grow, so too does the need for qualified Retrofit Coordinators. This course offers the expertise and certification you need to lead domestic retrofit projects with confidence, ensuring they meet the latest procurement, specification, and delivery standards under PAS 2035.

You’ll gain a deep understanding of retrofit principles, building physics, risk management, and energy efficiency improvements. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to guide projects from design to completion, helping to reduce carbon emissions and improve housing quality.
