These modules provide learners with a strong introduction to retrofit careers.
“After being made redundant I wanted a career that had long-term prospects. The Bootcamp helped me understand retrofit and energy efficiency improvements. With the support from the training team I applied for roles and secured a job as a Retrofit Technician working on insulation projects.”
“The course explained retrofit in a way that was easy to understand and really engaging. The tutors helped me prepare my CV and introduced me to employers in the sector. After completing the Bootcamp I secured work supporting retrofit installation projects.”
“The Bootcamp helped me gain the knowledge employers are looking for. Through the employer connections provided during the programme I attended interviews with local contractors and secured a role installing loft insulation shortly after finishing the course.”
