Built Training & Education is proud to offer the Retrofit Insulation Installation Training program. 
 
The Victorian Government has committed $12 million to introduce ceiling insulation retrofits as an activity under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. 
The Victorian Government is offering this grant to grow the capability and capacity of the retrofit insulation installation workforce and support the safe introduction of retrofit ceiling insulation as a proposed VEU activity.
Participants can complete the fully funded training units, subject to meeting student eligibility requirements. This training can lead to certification under the Energy Efficiency Council’s (EEC) Certified Insulation Installer (CII) program. All installers operating under the VEU Insulation Program will be required to be certified under the CII program.
Education, training and certification are critical for ensuring quality and safety, as well as equipping professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to properly install, maintain and assess insulation work, while maximising quality and minimising risk.
