The Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers’ (CIBSE) certification arm has introduced an innovative scheme designed to assess the competency of individuals offering specialist services in management systems.
According to CIBSE Certification, the new scheme recognises the significant challenges faced by organisations and consultants within the built environment, particularly in the fields of decarbonisation, net zero initiatives and compliance with the Building Safety Act, making it a “timely and essential” resource.
Kieran O’Brien, director of CIBSE Certification, said: “This scheme should help organisations easily find suitable resources, as they deal with increasing costs, skills shortages and competency of staff and suppliers. Consultants can also utilise the scheme register to demonstrate their capabilities and engage with potential customers.”
CIBSE Certification has a long-standing history of managing accredited schemes and registers, including the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, Low Carbon Consultants, Display Energy Certificates, and Energy Performance Certificates since 2007.
The newly launched Management System Specialist scheme will include a register of certified individuals, providing vital support for organisations and consultants as they collaborate to tackle industry-wide challenges.
