‘3.
The accreditation of the training programme or provider shall be effected by Member States or by the administrative body that they appoint.
The accrediting body shall ensure that the training, upskilling and reskilling programmes offered by the training provider are inclusive and have continuity and regional or national coverage.
The training provider shall have adequate technical facilities to provide practical training, including sufficient laboratory equipment or corresponding facilities to provide practical training.
The training provider shall offer, in addition to the basic training, shorter refresher and upskilling courses organised in training modules allowing installers and designers to add new competences, widen and diversify their skills across several technologies and their combinations.
The training provider shall ensure adaptation of training to new renewable technologies in the context of buildings, industry and agriculture.
Training providers shall recognise acquired relevant skills.
The training programmes and modules shall be designed to enable life-long learning in renewable installations and be compatible with vocational training for first time job seekers and adults seeking reskilling or new employment.
The training programmes shall be designed in order to facilitate acquiring qualification in different technologies and solutions and avoid limited specialisation in a specific brand or technology.
The training provider may be the manufacturer of the equipment or system, institutes or associations.’;
da) Point 5 is replaced by the following:
‘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 biomass boilers or stoves, heat pumps, shallow geothermal installations, solar thermal installations or storage and demand-response technologies, including charging stations.’;
e)
In point 6(c) the following points (iv) and (v) are added:
‘(iv) an understanding of feasibility and design studies;
(v) an understanding of drilling, in the case of geothermal heat pumps.’;
(5)
In Annex V, part C is amended as follows:
a) points 5 and 6 are replaced by the following:
‘5.
Emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials, eec, shall, include emissions from the extraction or cultivation process itself; from the collection, drying and storage of raw materials; from waste and leakages; and from the production of chemicals or products used in extraction or cultivation.
Capture of CO2 in the cultivation of raw materials shall be excluded.
If available, the disaggregated default values for soil N2O emissions set out in Part D shall be applied in the calculation.
It is allowed to calculate averages based on local farming practices based on data of a group of farms, as an alternative to using actual values.’;
6.
For the purposes of the calculation referred to in point 1(a), greenhouse gas emissions savings from improved agriculture management, esca, such as shifting to reduced or zero-tillage, improved crop/rotation, the use of cover crops, including crop residue management, and the use of organic soil improver (e.g. compost, manure fermentation digestate), shall be taken into account only if they do not risk to negatively affect biodiversity.
