Level 3 Award in Energy Awareness 6281-01 Assessment Registration
In-person/ group course
The Energy Awareness 6281-01 assessment is divided into two parts as follows:
PART 1 – SIMULATION-BASED ASSESSMENT
This is a 30-minute controlled assessment that must be conducted under the observation of a qualified assessor. For in-person and group courses, dates will be scheduled along with the course dates.
The assessment is delivered on a one-to-one basis via Microsoft Teams or Zoom, ensuring a structured and supportive environment for the candidate.
During the session, the assessor will use a role-play scenario to create a realistic context, enabling the candidate to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, and skills in relation to the following criteria:
- Demonstrate problem-solving abilities using an electricity bill
- Explain how to correctly read a dial meter
- Demonstrate how to set a mechanical programmer and explaining to the assessor the various functions of the programmer.
- Demonstrate how to set a digital programmable room thermostat.
PART 2 – OPEN BOOK WRITTEN ASSESSMENT
This is a non-controlled assessment and therefore does not require observation by an assessor.
The open-book written assessment will be issued to learners following successful completion of the simulation-based assessment. Learners will have a maximum of 14 days to complete and submit their responses.
As this is an open-book assessment, learners may refer to their course materials; however, all answers must be written in their own words.
The assessment will require candidates to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding against the following criteria:
- Home Heating
- Bills, Meters and Paying for Fuel
- Cutting Down Heat Loss
- Condensation and Dampness
