At the end of the training, the installer must have the skills required to install the relevant equipment and systems to meet the performance and reliability needs of the customer, incorporate quality craftsmanship, and comply with all applicable codes and standards, including energy and eco labelling. 5. The training course shall end with an examination leading to a certificate or qualification. The examination shall include a practical assessment of successfully installing equipment that helps to improve energy efficiency. 6. The certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes referred to in Article 13 shall include the following elements: - accredited training programmes should be offered to installers with work experience who have undergone, or are undergoing, suitable types of training; - a vocational training scheme to provide installers with adequate skills corresponding to three years' education in the relevant skills and including both classroom and workplace learning; - the installer certification should be time restricted, so that a refresher seminar or event would be necessary for continued certification.
