THE DRIVING FORCE IN RETROFIT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

We are the market leader in the development and delivery of retrofit training and qualifications.

Committed to quality, we support the evolution of the retrofit sector and spearhead the practical solutions needed to decarbonise UK housing at an ambitious scale.

Our work provides the link between industry, education and government – the three sectors needed to address the practical skills gap in retrofit and make net zero a reality.

OUR VISION AND MISSION

Our vision is a world where every home is warm, healthy and low carbon.

We don’t shy away from a challenge and our vision is certainly that! But it’s a vision we passionately believe in.

Improving the UK’s housing stock has huge benefits. It will address climate change by reducing carbon emissions, making the world a better place now and in the future. It will also give people far better homes to live in, improving their quality of life and standard of living.

Our mission is to drive the development of 200,000 competent retrofitters by 2030.

Another big challenge but one that’s absolutely essential if the UK is to achieve its target of being net zero by 2050.

To put that 2050 deadline in context, we need to make improvements to 1.8 homes every minute over the next few decades.

And to do that, we need an extra 400,000 new entrants to the retrofit sector to bridge the existing skills gap.

This is where we are making a difference. We have set ourselves the target of bridging half of that skills gap, and doing that by 2030.
