What is The Next Level?
⚡️ Take the next step in your DEA career through focused professional development
⚡️ Expand beyond EPCs by offering services aligned with emerging regulation and client demand
⚡️ Build your expertise and confidence with training delivered by the industry’s most trusted provider
The role of the Domestic Energy Assessor is evolving rapidly. With changes across EPC Reform, MEES and the Warm Homes Plan, assessors are increasingly expected to go beyond producing EPCs and support wider energy improvement strategies.
New regulations, technologies and client expectations mean the skills that defined competence yesterday may not define competence tomorrow. As an Elmhurst member, it’s important that you feel confident delivering the services your clients need — not just compliant, but capable of adding real value.
The Next Level is designed to help you stay ahead. Through focused, practical training in the areas gaining the most traction across the industry, you can expand your service offering, increase your earning potential, and position yourself for the future of energy assessment.
How do I know what my upskill route is?
We’ve made it simple to identify your next step as a Domestic Energy Assessor. Rather than leaving you to navigate changing regulations and emerging services alone, we’ve mapped out a recommended upskilling route based on where DEAs are seeing the most opportunity.
Each recommendation is informed by industry trends, regulatory direction and where we’re seeing growing demand across the market, so you can upskill with clarity and purpose.
