NatHERS Training Designed for Working Professionals
Welcome to Education in Building (EIB)—Australian specialists in Home Energy Rating and NatHERS training. With over 15 years’ experience, we deliver nationally accredited, 100% self paced online courses that equip professionals to succeed in the evolving energy efficiency sector. Our flagship program, the CPP41126 Certificate IV in Home Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, provides a clear and supported pathway to becoming a job ready NatHERS Energy Assessor.
As an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and a NatHERS endorsed provider, EIB focuses on practical, real world training that aligns with current National Construction Code (NCC) requirements. Our graduates develop the confidence and technical expertise needed to assess new homes and major renovations, while also advising homeowners, architects, designers, and builders on improving the thermal performance of residential buildings.
Through our courses, you’ll gain essential skills in understanding building materials and thermal behaviour, glazing performance, climate and weather impacts, occupancy patterns, zoning and conditioning, shading and overshadowing, and how design decisions affect energy efficiency outcomes. You’ll also learn how local climate zones, thermostat settings, and building size influence thermal comfort and compliance.
At EIB, we don’t just teach theory—we train professionals who are ready to deliver accurate, compliant, and trusted NatHERS energy ratings across Australia.
