How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Awarding Body for the Built Environment has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and Awarding Body for the Built Environment awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Awarding Body for the Built Environment.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

This qualification provides the underpinning knowledge and competency required for someone to work as a Green Deal Advisor and Assessor for non-domestic properties, enabling the issuance of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and confirming occupational competence in energy assessment.

These are the units Awarding Body for the Built Environment registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Awarding Body for the Built Environment. It does the teaching and the mapping. Awarding Body for the Built Environment sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

05The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 4 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Awarding Body for the Built Environment rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

What you would be collecting

Carry out Building Regulations Compliance checks of as-designed and as-built new-build non-dwellings using the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM)Carry out non-domestic energy inspections to determine an Operational Profile and give adviceConduct energy assessments in a safe, effective and professional mannerExplain the Green Deal Advice Report to the non-domestic customerPrepare and issue non-domestic Green Deal Advice ReportsPrepare for energy assessments of non-dwellings to fulfil regulatory requirements for asset ratingsProvide information to customers on the principles, financing and operation of the Green DealReport on the energy assessment of new and existing non-dwellings using Dynamic Simulation Model DSM

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

The Practical Builder The Practical Builder · your make-it-real tutor Illustration
The Practical Builder Paste in the draft you have for “Explain the Green Deal Advice Report to the non-domestic customer”. Not a tidied one, the one you would actually send.
You It is mostly there. The recommendations section is thin.
The Practical Builder Thin is fine, vague is not. Take recommendation two and tell me who does what by when, then we will see if it survives.

  • Draft the real one Create

    You do “Explain the Green Deal Advice Report to the non-domestic customer” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
