    Has anyone thought about getting the retrofit coordinator qualification to enable to claim for work done through the green homes grant? It takes about 3 months and costs £1200- as Ive been told.

    If anyone is an AECB member and has already done the Carbonlite Retrofit qualification there will be a 'top-up' course coming soon to upgrade to RC. I gather RC PI insurance can be pretty pricey!

    ...but looking back at bogal2's question, it suggests that a RC is enough to get GHG. As I understand it the *contractor* must be Trustmark reg'd, so any number of RC's would do you no good. Unless they have moved the goalposts (which in this case would be a good move!).

    Thanks Nick, I didn't realise that. Not sure if its worth it then.

    I could be wrong, but I have not seen anything which suggests an RC alone is enough. Most info sites refer to the contractor. energysavingtrust.org.uk says: ''They will then direct households to a list of approved TrustMark and or Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) registered tradespeople in their local area to carry out the work.''

    There are some references to 'Trustmark approved companies', but I still guess it's the installer, not (only) the RC, who needs the Trustmark.

    Anyway. I fear we'll run out of time very shortly...

    There's a list of requirements at https://www.trustmark.org.uk/ghgvsopp

    edit: I think Trustmark applies to companies, not individuals.
