WHAT IS A RETROFIT COORDINATOR?

Retrofit Coordinators are essential in the UK’s mission to make homes more eco-friendly with the added benefit of cheaper overall energy costs and a healthier home. They follow the guidelines of PAS 2035 to ensure projects are done right, safeguarding homeowners and clients.

In simple terms, Retrofit Coordinators oversee the entire PAS 2035 process of a project. They make sure everything from choosing materials to completing the work meets the standards for domestic retrofit projects.

Their job is to guide the project every step of the way, protecting the homeowner’s interests from start to finish. This is crucial for maintaining quality and keeping everyone involved informed.

Our Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management teaches you the skills needed to lead major projects successfully, putting you in charge of all aspects of whole-house retrofit. After completing it, you’ll be seen as a top professional in your field.

WHO SHOULD BECOME A RETROFIT COORDINATOR?

Individuals who should consider becoming Retrofit Coordinators include those with qualifications in built environment subjects, ideally at least Level 3 with a minimum of 12 credits. Additionally, if you possess a university degree relevant to the built environment, you already meet the entry requirements for this course. This role is perfect for anyone passionate about ensuring sustainable and compliant retrofit projects in the UK’s housing sector.
