How SHEA Works
All courses have been developed by relevant health and safety professionals in collaboration with a range of industry stakeholders including asset owners/large employers, contractor employers, training providers and independent trainers.

Organisation-specific SHEA training programme
We recognise that some organisations have their own training programme covering the same topics as our SHEA schemes. If this is the case then you can get your own training programme approved by us – an individual successfully completing your approved organisation-specific SHEA training programme plus our mandatory Energy & Utility Skills assessment would be eligible for SHEA registration on EUSR – 3 or 5 years depending upon the scheme.
You would need to be an Energy & Utility Skills Approved Provider – if you are not already – and get your training programme approved by us. You would need to demonstrate that your training programme mapped to the SHEA standard.
As part of the mapping exercise, you may find that you can strengthen your own training programme, adding in content, improving the contextualisation of your content or even enhance your assessment, using Energy & Utility Skills assessment as the core requirement.
