Elmhurst Energy works in partnership with further and higher education providers to support the delivery of high-quality construction and green skills training.
As national policy continues to prioritise retrofit, sustainability, and energy efficiency, colleges are under increasing pressure to deliver industry-relevant provision at pace, while maintaining compliance, quality assurance, and strong learner outcomes.
We act as a training delivery partner, enabling institutions to expand or enhance their curriculum without increasing internal delivery burden, supporting both local skills development and regional priorities.
Build Your Bespoke Training Package
Every institution approaches delivery differently. That’s why our services can be delivered individually or combined into a tailored support package, depending on your needs. Some providers work with us to strengthen a specific area of delivery, while others take a more integrated approach across training, assessment, and learner progression.
If you’re looking to expand or enhance your provision, we’re ready to support you. Take a look at our options below and send us an enquiry.

Our Services
We provide a range of services designed to support further and higher education providers in delivering high-quality, industry-relevant green skills training, whether as standalone support or as part of a wider delivery partnership. Our offer is flexible and can be tailored to complement your existing provision:
You Train, We Assess
You deliver the training, we’ll mark the work. If your team is delivering the training, Elmhurst can support with the assessment stage.
This means your learners can complete their training with your institution, while Elmhurst provides the post-training portfolio assessment, quality checks and verification required by the awarding body.
By working with Elmhurst in this capacity, your learners can benefit from our systems, training materials and expert support team whilst they complete their portfolio of work.
Practical Tools for Industry-Ready Learners
Access to the right tools is essential for delivering meaningful, practical training. We provide institutions with industry-standard EPC and Retrofit software used by professionals in the field. This allows learners to develop hands-on experience as part of their studies, supporting both engagement and understanding.
Train the Trainer
For providers looking to build or expand internal delivery capability, we offer structured train-the-trainer programmes. These are designed to equip tutors with both the technical knowledge and delivery confidence needed to run energy and retrofit training effectively. This creates a more sustainable, long-term delivery model, reducing reliance on external support over time.
Full End-to-End Training Delivery
We can manage the full training journey on your behalf, from course delivery through to assessment, quality assurance and qualification.
This gives your learners access to industry-relevant training and expert support, while reducing the pressure on your internal teams. It is ideal for providers who want to introduce or expand energy and retrofit training without needing to manage any of the delivery in-house.

Strengthen your green skills provision
We support further and higher education providers in enhancing their construction and green skills offer, helping ensure provision reflects both national policy priorities and local employer demand. Our training is designed to complement existing courses or support the introduction of new retrofit and energy-focused programmes, aligned with DfE priorities and regional skills needs.
Deliver high-quality training at pace
Introducing or expanding provision often requires additional expertise and resource. We enable providers to deliver industry-relevant training efficiently, without compromising on quality. Our structured approach and established delivery model allow you to respond to emerging skills requirements while maintaining consistency and learner experience. By choosing Elmhurst, learners can become accredited and ready to work in the industry more quickly, as supported by our Direct Claims Status and faster application process.
Collaborative delivery model
Elmhurst works in partnership with colleges and their wider networks to support collaborative approaches to training delivery. This includes enabling hub-and-spoke models, shared curriculum development, and regional delivery strategies that maximise reach while maintaining quality. Our approach is designed to integrate with your existing provision rather than operate separately from it.
Quality assurance and compliance built in
Our training and support services are designed with the FE and HE landscape in mind, helping providers navigate evolving funding rules, compliance requirements, and quality assurance frameworks. By embedding these considerations into delivery, we help reduce risk and provide confidence that provision meets required standards.
Industry-recognised training and accreditation
As the UK’s largest government-approved EPC accreditation body, Elmhurst provides a clear pathway from training into industry. Learners benefit from access to recognised accreditation routes, technical support, and ongoing professional development, ensuring that training remains connected to real-world practice and supports progression beyond the classroom.

Elmhurst already works with a wide network of further and higher education providers, supporting the delivery of energy and retrofit training in a variety of settings. See who we’ve been working with below:
