I liked your post; I think the domestic EPC market has little credibility left, and we can thank many of the training providers (not all) for this situation, who have made false promises of DEA's having the facility to earn thousands of pounds a week. Although having been in the energy efficiency industry for 8 years, I am not a training provider, having refused to enter the free for all bun fight.
No doubt some of these less credible training providers will be trying for a second payday with the commercial EPC sector, but I believe that they will not get it this time, this is a wholly different and much more professional marketplace. I for one will be advising my commercial clients on the standards of qualification and accreditation to look out for. There are a few very good long standing training companies who have been around in the energy efficiency industry for years, and we will be working with these guys.
But who is prepared to make an investment in further training and business development when we know how fickle the CLG might again turn out to be. Will we see more delays in the commercial marketplace? Who knows, but I do believe that it's going to present some good opportunities to those like me, who have been involved from day one in the home inspector process and the defunct HCR.
Let's hope CLG can actually manage the process a 'little' better this time around.
