Entry requirements

This qualification is designed for individuals already qualified in site/building project management. It gives them the opportunity to gain a qualification in the project coordination and risk management of domestic retrofit projects. It also provides a route for those already working in a retrofit capacity but lacking specific qualifications.

Assessment

A combination of practical assessments and portfolio work. This involves completing a series of case studies, including both simulated and real-life property inspections, alongside a written portfolio demonstrating an understanding of the assessment process.

Career progression

A Retrofit Coordinator can progress to roles like Retrofit Assessor, Retrofit Evaluator, or Retrofit Designer. They can also advance into management positions within retrofit teams or specialise in technical aspects (e.g. BIM coordination) or training future coordinators. Some may even establish their own retrofit businesses.
