The aim of the Certificate in Residential Retrofit Site Coordination programme is to up-skill building workers and crafts to develop knowledge and skills that allow them to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient carbon-neutral retrofits to existing residential buildings whilst complying with Ireland’s current Building Regulations.
Just Announced! This Certificate in Residential Retrofit Site Coordination is now 70% – 100% funded through Skills to Advance. Skills to Advance aims to equip employees with the skills they need to progress in their current role and provides upskilling and reskilling opportunities to employees in jobs undergoing change. Start date is September 27, 2023
