Read in more detail: WHAT IS THE FES COURSE?

QualiBuild piloted a Foundation Energy Skills (FES) Programme for 200 building construction workers during 2015 and 2016.With cooperation of the QualiBuild partners and certain training bodies the FES course will continue to be rolled out on an interim short term basis, until such time that a training body such as SOLAS can take over the programme, run and manage the course nationally on a long term basis.
