Predominantly aimed at architects, engineers, consultants, built environment students, and clients. You'll need some knowledge of UK construction systems, as well as a general understanding of maths and Microsoft Excel, and building plans.

"The course was fantastic in bringing together so many different experts from different disciplines - demonstrating the collaboration that is required to design and build a Passivhaus." |
"It was by far the best course that I have been on in the 25+ years since I started studying architecture. It was much more than I could have hoped for and I now feel better equipped to carry on as a sole trading architect." |
"The fact that each of the trainers has hands on experience in the field delivering certified passive houses is really what sets this course apart." |
