Whether you’re just starting out as a Domestic Energy Assessor or have a few years under your belt, there’s one tool that can accelerate your growth, build your confidence, and improve your assessments: Domestic Energy Assessor mentoring.

DEA training gives you the qualifications and core knowledge —but what happens when you’re out in the real world, standing in front of a complicated heating system or an unusual property layout? That’s where mentoring makes all the difference.

Domestic Energy Assessor mentoring bridges the gap between theory and practice. It offers real-world guidance, honest feedback, and tailored support, helping you:

• Avoid common errors (before your accreditation body spots them)

• Gain confidence in your decision-making on-site

• Understand tricky assessments like older properties, extensions, or unconventional heating setups

• Stay up to date with industry changes like RdSAP 10 and EPC best practices

• Develop a professional approach to working with clients and managing your workload

Training courses often don’t cover the small details that make the biggest difference—like how to identify a building’s construction age confidently, or what to look for when you’re unsure whether a heating system should be split into two main systems. Through Domestic Energy Assessor mentoring, you get practical support tailored to the day-to-day challenges of your work—whether it’s technical advice or business development.

A mentor can share real-world examples and case studies to help you sharpen your eye and streamline your process.

Technical confidence is one thing—but what about running a successful DEA business?

Many assessors feel unsure when it comes to pricing their services, managing clients, or marketing themselves effectively. That’s why part of my mentoring also focuses on business development.

This includes:

• Pricing your services with confidence – no more undercharging or second-guessing

• Identifying and targeting your ideal clients – such as estate agents, landlords, or retrofit professionals

• Creating a strong personal brand – so you stand out for the right reasons

• Streamlining your operations – saving time while staying compliant

• Developing long-term growth strategies – whether you’re aiming for more EPCs, Retrofit work, or CPD training delivery

I offer clear practical support based on what’s worked in my own business and through Domestic Energy Assessor mentoring as part of structured training and development programmes.
