BER Assessor Qualifications
Only SEAI registered BER assessors can carry out BERs in Ireland, and all of the BER assessors on BerCert.com are registered with the SEAI.
How Do BER Assessors Qualify?
To register with the SEAI as a domestic BER assessor, a person must:
- Hold a relevant qualification at NFQ Level 6 or higher
- Complete the QQI-accredited BER assessment course for dwellings with an SEAI-approved training provider and achieve at least 70%, or hold an approved construction qualification that includes an equivalent module
- Hold the required insurance and a valid tax clearance certificate
- Agree to follow the SEAI's BER Assessor Code of Practice
How the SEAI Checks BER Assessors
BER assessors are audited by the SEAI and must keep proper records of all of the following:
- BER certificates
- Provisional BER certificates
- Advisory reports
- BER data files from their BER surveys
- All supporting drawings, data and other documentation for each BER survey
The SEAI's Quality Assurance and Disciplinary Procedures make sure both the quality and integrity of the BER scheme are maintained. Disciplinary sanctions can arise from BER assessor audits or customer complaints. Audits are selected on either a random or targeted basis at the SEAI's discretion.
