All Energy Assessors need to be members of an Accreditation Scheme before they can issue Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), Display Energy Certificates (DECs), Advisory Reports or Air-Conditioning Reports. Accreditation provides assurance for your clients that you are competent to do the job, professionally qualified, and properly insured.

At ecmk we pride ourselves on the personal service that we offer to our Assessors particularly in relation to:

• technical support
• quality assurance
• ongoing training (CPD)
• Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance (available on a "pay-per-EPC" basis for some types of assessment).

Please see our document, Support Services to Members for more information.
