Learning Outcomes

Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) has published a “Specification for Assessor Training Programme for Building Energy Rating (BER) of New Dwellings” which sets out the requirements which all validated training courses must meet.
This useful document can be downloaded here.

You will see from this document that there are 130 individual learning outcomes that students must be taught during this course and this is the fundamental reason why Chevron delivers this course over 6 consecutive days, covering all aspects of the course specification and learner outcomes in detail within a classroom environment unlike other providers directing students to study and review learner outcomes in their own time.

The benefits for delivering the BER Course in our ideal skill transfer format are vast for the student, including having the opportunity to ask questions as we progress through each module throughout the week. Chevron Training are proud to offer the most comprehensive BER Course on the market.
