Competence in Solar Installation
 
The group is working with Leeds College of Building and the Yorkshire Skills Enhancement Fund to deliver the NVQ unit in solar installation to eligible candidates. Unit QCF 298 – installing solar collectors to roofs in the workplace – is available to roofers who regularly install panels and wish to obtain a qualification to show competence to clients. They are then assessed on site through the onsite  assessment and training (OSAT) route. The fund allows this qualification to be delivered to candidates at £175 per person.  
 
This project has now been extended to allow candidates to undertake 2 units QCF 298 (detailed above) and QCF 281 Installing Components for Warm Roof Construction in the Workplace in accordance with draft guidelines covered in PAS 2030. Both units can be taken for a subsidised cost of £250 with assistance from the Skills Enhancement Fund.
                                                                                                                                          
This project works alongside that of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), offering training in the installation of solar units, and the YIRTG Roofer's Guide to Sustainability
