Funding

The Retrofit Academy has secured millions of pounds to reduce the cost of training to organisations and individuals wanting to develop new skills in retrofit.

Our funders include the Department for Education, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, regional and local government. We target this funding where possible to best support the industry or retrofit programmes and to support disadvantaged people.

ACCESS TO FUNDING

The availability of funding often depends on your circumstances, including where you live, what you do and where you do it.

Some funding, such as Skills Bootcamps, is highly localised, available only to certain types of people in a particular county for example.

Other funding is more generally available. For example, we have secured £1m in funding to subsidise a range of retrofit training across the whole of England through the government’s Home Decarbonisation Skills Competition. This is available to the end of March 2024. However, not everybody is eligible.

Below is the funding we currently have access to. You can find out more below.
