Green Loans
Assessor training courses
To ensure Green Loans Home Sustainability Assessments are of a consistent high standard and are positive experiences for households, the Australian Government has set up a new training and registration scheme for Home Sustainability Assessors who wish to undertake assessments for the Program.
Only Assessors who meet this new training and registration standard will be contracted by the Australian Government to conduct assessments for the Green Loans Program.
Professional Home Sustainability Assessment
The Australian Government has sponsored the development of a course Professional Home Sustainability Assessment for the purpose of preparing persons to conduct Home Sustainability Assessments.
This course typically takes four days of classroom training to complete, although recognition of prior learning is available from course providers. Training providers may require prerequisite qualifications and/or experience prior to enrolling candidates.
Examples of prerequisite qualifications or experience may include:
- Building Thermal Performance Assessment (Residential); or
- a qualification in Architecture or Building Design; or
- substantial experience in the building industry; or
- Home Sustainability Assessment registration 21854-VIC.
The cost of training, and training course availability is set by each individual Registered Training Organisation.
