CHADWICKS PARTNERS WITH NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION TRAINING CAMPUS

Chadwicks has partnered with National Construction Training Campus to bring a new energy and retrofit mobile education hub to select branches nationwide. A collaboration between the Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board (LOETB) and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), the education centre will provide both tradespeople and homeowners with everything they need to know about the retrofitting process. At the retrofit centre, tradespeople can expect to learn from SEAI representatives about the necessary requirements for becoming registered insulation and heat pump installers. This valuable resource will provide tradespeople with the knowledge and qualifications needed to meet industry standards and expand their professional capabilities.

Commenting on the new energy and retrofit roadshow, Patrick Atkinson, CEO of Chadwicks said: “We are delighted to partner with the Education and Training Board and be able to provide a one stop shop for tradespeople and homeowners alike to discover new and valuable advice on the retrofitting process. At Chadwicks, we believe everyone should have simple access to professional guidance on retrofitting and that is why we have strategically chosen the centre to be at branches where other fantastic home upgrade learning resources such as ETB training centres are not as close by. Visitors to the new centre can expect to experience unrivalled expertise and get all you need to know to start or complete a retrofit, done.”
