CPD Speaker Meeting (17 Oct 2024) - Software changes in preparation for RdSAP 10

Bookings for this event will close at midnight the day before the event.

This is another great opportunity to review the additional information required for RdSAP10 and make sure you are fully prepared for how it will impact on what you do at survey. There are significant changes and preparation for them is essential if you are to have a smooth transition.

This CPD is highly relevant to all energy assessors who will be using RdSAP10 so it should not be missed.

Alongside the changes needed for the extra options in RdSAP10, Quidos have taken the opportunity to incorporate additional features to streamline data entry and build in additional protections against inadvertent errors or omissions.

If you are already Quidos accredited, or are considering accrediting with them, there will be an additional benefit in seeing in-depth how the software that you will be using works.

Software changes in preparation for RdSAP 10.
The changes in RdSAP 10 mean that as well as Assessors needing to work slightly differently, the software will need to deal with entry of different data. Billy Say, Scheme Manager at Quidos, will take you through how the data entry will change. You will be able to clearly see how that will impact the ways you need to collect the relevant information on site.

Pre-Booking is required.

This CPD session will take you through all the significant changes so you can collect all the information the software will be asking you for, as efficiently as possible.

Following a brief introduction, the agenda will be:

• Proficiency brief update / industry news
  
  
• Main session - Software changes for RdSAP10
  • The different information you will need for RdSAP10
  • How the user interface has changed to accommodate the additional options
  • Additional features to streamline data entry
  • Error checking as you go along
  • How the RdSAP10 changes carry over into Retrofit and Retrofit software

We will then pick up any specific AOB items tabled for the meeting or carried forward from the previous meeting.

This is followed by an open floor discussion and networking session to close the meeting. Expect this to finish around 5:30 pm but allow some flexibility if you can as there is a lot to gained from the open discussions and networking at the end.

This event is FREE for Proficiency members. It is open to non-members at a cost of £25. (It makes more sense to join and get at least 12 sessions like this for free in the year)

Attendance certificates will be added to the member's  CPD record. Non-members will be provided with an attendance certificate to enable them to claim at least an hour of relevant CPD.

NOT A MEMBER? Join for just £60 and get free access to this and at least 12 hours of CPD like this, and a listing on the website.
(For just £25 more, as a Premium member get an enhanced listing and other benefits).

HOW IT WORKS - Please read carefully

You will be sent joining instructions and/or the relevant link ahead of the meeting. This is typically sent out about 1 day ahead of the event. For online events we generally use Zoom.

Around 24 hours ahead of the event you will receive a link to register for the event. You can do this any time from then until just before the meeting starts. Once you have registered you will receive the actual meeting link. Please ensure you register using your correct full name. This ensures you will get the right name on your CPD certificate (if applicable),

(If there is less than 24 hours to go, please check your junk / spam folder before contacting us to say you haven't received the link. It will probably be there. If it is not then do contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. but don't leave it to the last minute. Once we have started to set up for the session we will not be able to take calls or respond to emails).

Please also ensure you have tested your set up and both your audio and video are working. If we cannot see you are present we may not be able to issue you with a CPD certificate. If you know in advance that you will not have video capability, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will agree an alternative way in which the organisers can verify you were actually present (and hopefully paying attention) for the entire session.

If you need to briefly deal with something like an urgent phone call during the session, please turn your video off whilst you do so to avoid a distraction to other attendees. Video off for short periods of absence will not affect eligibility for CPD certificates. Prolonged periods of absence or where video is off so you could be absent, will prevent us being able to issue a CPD certificate. This verification of your presence is essential for us to ensure that the value of Proficiency CPD certificates is maintained so they can be accepted by accreditation schemes. 

(There are no refunds where CPD certificates cannot be issued due to only partial attendance at an event).
