What the status is of the accreditation of Green Deal advisors.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government what the status is of the accreditation of Green Deal advisors.
The answer
Accreditation under the Green Deal is available and is recognised in Scotland. It is carried out by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) for all Green Deal Certification Bodies. There are currently nine such bodies able to certify Green Deal Assessor Organisations and 80 certified Green Deal Assessor Organisations registered with the Green Deal Oversight and Registration Body (ORB).
In order to operate in Scotland, it is a requirement that each individual Green Deal Adviser must be an existing Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessor who has completed the necessary Green Deal processes.
