Free training for local trade professionals to help residents live in greener and more fuel efficient homes.

Home retrofit and assessment training

We are offering fully funded home retrofit, energy installation and assessment training as part of our Local Energy Advice Demonstrator (LEAD) project. These funded courses will help improve the skills of trade professionals in North Yorkshire so that they can carry out projects based around domestic retrofit and renewable energy solutions.
