U-Value Competency Training

Elmhurst's U-Value Competency training course provides further understanding of U-Values and allows the assessor to build on current skills and knowledge.

The U-Value Competency Training provides an excellent CPD opportunity for existing On Construction and NDEA Level 4 Assessors wanting to gain a more comprehensive overview of U-Values. However this course also provides a first step towards those wanting to join Elmhurst's U-Value Competency Scheme. 

The Elmhurst Scheme is set up to offer additional validity/credibility of U-Value calculations produced by assessing and monitoring the competency of U-Value calculations. 

The course and voluntary scheme is developed by Elmhurst and uses the Elmhurst U-Value calculator or Design SAP software. The training day provides a further understanding of U-Values and allows the assessor to build on current skills and knowledge.
