Training materials
We have produced training courses for both frontline workers and consumers, as well as some resources to help reduce energy poverty, and increase the comfort in people’s homes.
Please note that as energy policy is a devolved matter in the UK, many of the support programmes and definitions are different across the UK and as such these courses are aimed at people living in England.
