The assessment is a series of statements or questions which are used to assess and benchmark your knowledge on the key sustainability topics within the built environment. The assessment is used to direct you to the most relevant resources for your level of learning and identify gaps within your knowledge.
Completing an assessment will generate an action plan which is relevant to your trade category and industry sector, your company size and areas for improvement in your knowledge.

When you register as a new user of the School, our system will notify you if we already have an existing company account associated with your email domain.
If we do, you will be invited to join your colleagues in your company’s existing account and your company administrator will be notified that you wish to join. You will still be able to access all the School’s resources and complete a personal assessment whilst you wait for your administrator to approve you into the company account.

In order to complete assessments on behalf of your company, you will need to be an administrator of your company account. To become a company administrator, you will either need to ask your current administrator to grant you rights or contact us to request them.
Our reward and recognition scheme is based on a company’s activity as a whole within the School, so membership badges are only applied to a company account.
The more colleagues that join your company account and utilise the School’s resources, the easier it is for your company to collect and upgrade your membership badge.

To gain a bespoke action plan you will need to complete an assessment. The assessment tool is located on your account page.
You can either take a personal assessment to benchmark your own knowledge, or a company assessment on behalf of your organisation. Company assessments can be completed as part of a team discussion or through your own evaluation of your company’s current skillset.

Everyone who joins the School will automatically be given a personal account, from which you can manage your own learning, take assessments and download CPD certificates of activity.
Individuals can be linked into a company account, which consolidates all individuals from a company into one place and allows cumulative activity and progress to be saved in one area. Users can progress through their own learning journey and collect CPD points, whilst also contributing to the company’s engagement and level of membership with the School.
For example, if Joe Bloggs Scaffolding employs ten people, all of whom are registered with the School, each of these ten users will have access to their own personal accounts, as well as the ability to access and view the Joe Bloggs Scaffolding company account.

Our Partners can see which members of their supply chain are registered with the School and your membership will also be publicised via our membership directory.
No. All assessment scores are completely confidential and therefore your clients are unable to see them.
We do not give out membership numbers. If your company is a bronze, silver or gold member you will be able to download your accreditation badge from your company dashboard, or you will be able to see your company name in our membership directory.
No. Although we understand it could look like that. Larger organisations took the lead to help develop the School initially but now they’re intent on bringing in Partners from across the value chain. The School Partners welcome and actively promote becoming a Partner to companies from all sizes and sectors in the built environment.
Our membership levels are updated every 24 hours. Come back tomorrow to view your membership badge on your account.

Even though School Membership is free and self-guided, we aim to help everyone to the best of our ability. We admit we are only human, and sometimes we may get it wrong; however, be rest assured we follow up on all queries and investigate and rectify our technical issues. For any questions or suggestions, please complete the below form, and we will work on a solution for you. If required, we will also add it to our FAQ’s help website page to assist others.
