Proficiency welcomes Energy Trust as a new partner

EnergyTrust Logo

Learn a new skill today with funded courses under the Warm Home Skills Programme (WHSP) 

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Energy Trust where Proficiency members can gain an additional 10% off courses! This special offer is available solely to Standard and Pro members of Proficiency, providing a timely boost for professionals seeking to upskill amid the push towards net-zero homes. With government-backed funding already slashing course fees through the Warm Homes Skills Programme (WHSP) giving a 60% discount, this additional perk makes high-quality, qualifications more accessible than ever.

The Warm Homes Skills Programme is a government-funded initiative delivering nearly £1 million in grants to cover 60% of course fees for learners. Running from September 2025 to July 2026, the programme aligns training with PAS 2035 and PAS 2038 standards, ensuring participants emerge with skills that meet the demands of the retrofit industry. Eligible learners, those aged 18+ residing or working primarily in England and eligible for UK public funds, can now layer Proficiency's 10% discount atop the WHSP subsidy, reducing costs further for a fraction of the original price. Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so prompt action is advised.

Courses include*: 

  • Level 3 Certificate in Domestic Energy Assessment & Level 3 Certificate for Retrofit Assessors - Normally £1780 +VAT is now £534 +VAT with Proficiency discount. 
  • Level 3 Certificate for Retrofit Assessors - Normally £690 +VAT is now £207 +VAT with Proficiency discount. 
  • Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Assessment - Normally £1800 +VAT is now £540 +VAT with Proficiency discount. 
  • Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings - Normally £495 +VAT is now £148.50 +VAT with Proficiency discount. 
  • Level 3 Award in Introduction to Domestic Retrofit Normally £295 +VAT is now £88.50 +VAT with Proficiency discount. 
  • Level 3 & 4 Diploma in Non Domestic Energy Assessment (NDEA) - Normally £1890 +VAT is now £567 +VAT with Proficiency discount. 

PLEASE NOTE*: Proficiency members will still get a 10% discount on courses not funded by the WHSP or for members who are not eligble for the WHSP (Need to be 18+ and live or work in England)

Courses can be booked on the Energy Trust website and don't forget to get your discount code from the members area

As part of our partnership with Energy Trust candidates who are trained with Energy Trust will be introduced to Proficiency which will allow Proficiency to support those gaining new skills or even entering the industry, this will allow further support for assessors once they gain their qualifications. 

Richard Elton, Managing Director of Energy Trust and a Proficiency Pro Member, said this:

"I have been a Proficiency Member since 2023 and have found the quality of the CPD and Member resources to be excellent and genuinely helpful. I am pleased to have this partnership with Proficiency, whereby Proficiency members will receive a discount on our training, and in turn, our learners will be introduced to Proficiency upon completing their course. This will enable them to benefit from the support of Proficiency, which is particularly useful for those new to the industry."
