Question 99: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the building energy rating course costs €1,300 with FÁS support; if the fee will be amended or reduced for persons who are unemployed and cannot afford the fees; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

FÁS does not run any Building Energy Rating (BER) course on a fee-paying basis. The FÁS training centre in Cabra provides BER training to unemployed persons at no direct cost to the individual trainees.

This is the only such course run by FÁS. It is delivered as a mainline day course and participation on it is reserved for persons who are out of work.
