What route must I take to become registered as an Air Conditioning Assessor?

To become Accredited as an Air Conditioning Assessor and to be on the LCEA Register, you need to complete the Accreditation Process as outlined on the CIBSE Certification Ltd website.

Previous requirements relating to the provision of 3 reports prior to Accreditation have now been waved by CLG. CIBSE Certification will give provisional Accreditation until 3 full reports have been submitted and will then grant fully Accredited status.

If you have questions, please contact Fiona Torrance on ftorrance@cibse.org

How can I convert my CIBSE Low Carbon Consultant (LCC) Training to produce EPCs and/or DECs?

If you completed your CIBSE LCC Training in Design prior to 1 April 2008, you may need to do a 1 day EPC top-up training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue EPCs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCC Training in Design prior to 1 April 2008 but want to produce DECs, then you may need to complete the 2 day DEC training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue DECs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCC Training in Operations prior to 1 April 2008, you may need to do a 1 day DEC top-up training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue DECs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCC Training in Operations prior to 1 April 2008 but want to produce EPCs, then you may need to complete the 2 day EPC training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue EPCs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCEA Training in Design after 1 April 2008, you may NOT need to do any EPC top-up training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue EPCs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCEA Training in Design after 1 April 2008 but want to produce DECs, then you may need to complete the 2 day DEC training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue DECs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCEA Training in Operations after 1 April 2008, you may NOT need to do a DEC top-up training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue DECs.

If you completed your CIBSE LCEA Training in Operations after 1 April 2008 but want to produce EPCs, then you may need to complete the 2 day EPC training course prior to completing the accreditation process to be able to issue EPCs.

The process to Accreditation involves:

1. Training
2. Software Training
3. APEL Application (NOS) with CPD, PII, CV

The Accreditation Process for EPC, DEC, and Air Conditioning requires a separate APEL Application Form (matching National Occupational Standard (NOS) Criteria for either EPC, DEC or Air Conditioning) with accompanying evidence of Continued Professional Development (CPD) and documentation (CV, Professional Indemnity Insurance).
