DMR Training on the Winner’s List of the Home Decarbonisation Skills Training Competition

DMR Training is thrilled to be among the winners of the Home Decarbonisation Skills Training Competition. The full list was unveiled earlier today by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero.

The competition – facilitated by the Midlands Net Zero Hub – provides £9.2 million of government funding for free and heavily subsidised training for the green energy sector. Training will be delivered by a select list of providers and accredited centres throughout England and will result in 8900 skills courses for insulation and heat pump installers, and retrofit coordinators and advisors.

DMR’s involvement in the scheme covers training and assessment for Level 2 and 3 qualifications in Insulation and Building Treatments, Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings and Understanding Domestic Retrofit.

After announcing the competition winners, Business and Energy Minister Lord Callanan said:

“The green energy sector is driving growth and creating jobs right across the country, and this funding will make sure we have enough tradespeople trained up and able to take advantage of these opportunities.

We are making homes greener and cheaper to keep warm and training thousands more skilled installers will ensure we keep accelerating the pace of creating cleaner and more energy efficient buildings.”

Dave Radley, Managing Director of DMR Training, said:

“Our involvement in the Home Decarbonisation Skills Training competition is very exciting because it helps us to educate more people on the advantages of lowering carbon emissions and becoming more energy efficient. The importance of energy efficiency and retrofit measures has been part of our core message for years and we feel that people have really started to respond in recent times.

Being one of the training providers announced by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero to deliver on their behalf across the breadth of the country is a real honour, and we feel like our hard work and perseverance is paying off. We are now in a position to make an even greater contribution to the decarbonisation of UK homes and, ultimately, the creation of a far more sustainable society”.
