Target Audience
BER Assessors should have a National Certificate Level 6 Advanced Certificate/Higher Certificate in construction studies or other cognate discipline or equivalent, such as significant relevant experience.  Course Cost is negotiable - group and other discounts available. 

As of Jan 2010 there were over 1986 registered assessors. A total of 6, 893 people (including those currently registered) have successfully completed BER Assessor training courses. It is expected that some proportion of these qualified people can be expected to go on to register with SEI. SEI estimates that the equivalent of 1,000 full time active BER assessors would be required to meet the demands of the residential BER market.
