This includes lunch and refreshments on both days.

Exam & Test Assessment

Please note that if you are wishing to become a qualified and licensed Ecohomes assessor you will require certification against the Competent Persons Scheme. This is provided by BRE Certification which is a sister company to BRE. For certification you will need to complete a two-stage examination comprising of (i) an examination taken under controlled classroom conditions and (ii) a test assessment (after the course) which is submitted to BRE. An application form for Certification against the Competent Persons Scheme is then completed after you have successfully passed the two-stage examination. Please note that it is a requirement that once qualified your organisation must hold a BREEAM licence agreement in order to carry out Ecohomes assessments. A copy of the BREEAM Licence Agreement is available from the BREEAM Office.

The price for completing and marking the exam and test assessment is £300 plus VAT.
