A Practical Route into Commercial EPC Assessment
Training Move's combined NDEA course prepares learners for the City & Guilds Level 4 Diploma in Non-Domestic Energy Assessment (6361-08). Across five classroom days, you will study the methods and practical skills used to assess non-domestic buildings and prepare commercial Energy Performance Certificates.
- ✓ Combined Level 3 and Level 4 training covering commercial buildings with frequently occurring features and buildings with more complex services.
- ✓ Experienced classroom tutors to explain assessment methods, answer questions and guide your practical work.
- ✓ Hands-on commercial EPC training with iSBEM software and portfolio-based assessment work.
- ✓ Support beyond the workshop by email or phone while you complete the remaining portfolio evidence.
How the Five-EPC Portfolio Works
The five-day workshop starts your portfolio. Completion of the remaining assessments and successful portfolio sign-off takes place after the classroom training.
Complete Two EPC Assessments
During training, complete one Level 3 and one Level 4 commercial EPC assessment for your portfolio with tutor guidance.
Produce Three Further EPCs
In your own time, complete the remaining two Level 4 assessments and one Level 3 assessment required for the five-EPC portfolio.
Submit Your Portfolio
Receive ongoing support as you prepare the remaining evidence, then submit your completed portfolio for assessment and certification.
Understanding Level 3 and Level 4 Buildings
Level 3 assessments generally cover buildings with frequently occurring heating, ventilation and cooling features. Level 4 assessments include buildings with services outside those frequently occurring categories, such as more complex HVAC systems. Your training covers how to recognise the relevant building features and apply the appropriate assessment method.
