Earning More

We are researching further qualifications that we may run courses for to enable trainees to become even more multi-skilled and to gain further potential income streams including:

• Level 4 Commercial Energy Assessor - for Energy Assessments on larger commercial buildings.
• Display Energy Certificate Assessor - for Energy Assessments on public buildings over 1,000sq.m.
• New Build Assessors - for ‘off-plan’ Energy Assessments on new domestic properties.
• Fire Risk Assessments - a recent law change means qualified professionals, including Home Inspectors with a new ABBE qualification, instead of only the fire service, can now carry out fire risk management of business premises.
• Domestic Property Valuations - potentially a great opportunity already supported by Government for Home Inspectors with the ABBE CertValSL qualification to carry out valuations for Mortgage Lenders.
• Property Insulation Surveys - due to a shortage of surveyors the National Insulation Association is liaising with Association of Home Information Pack Providers for Home Inspectors to do insulation surveys. 30 million homes require loft insulation – 33% of Energy Assessments recommend it; 7 million homes require cavity wall insulation – 22% of Assessments recommend it.
