OCN NI Level 2 Retrofit Skills for Building Fabric & Services

About this course

Our Retrofit course has been designed to up‑skill and re‑skill the current workforce, equipping learners with the essential knowledge and practical abilities needed to meet the growing demands of the construction industry. Developed in line with the needs of local and regional employers, this programme supports the transition toward more energy‑efficient and sustainable building practices.

Learners will gain a clear understanding of the full retrofit process for domestic dwellings, including how homes can be upgraded to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance overall performance. The course also explores the correct methods for achieving airtightness in buildings, highlighting why airtightness is important and how it contributes to reduced heat loss, greater comfort, and improved energy ratings. In addition, learners will be introduced to the installation of external insulation and will gain insight into the advantages it provides, such as increased thermal performance, lower energy bills, and improved durability of the building structure.
