Domestic Energy Assessors

Not sure if this is the right place/board but couldn't find a more suitable place........
Having been made redundant last year I took time out to do up my house and sell. I have now completed that and am looking at self employment opportunities. I am looking for a complete career change and as such any field I go in to I will be untrained and inexperienced.
I have been loosely contemplating mortgage advising (haven't ruled it out yet) but have been pointed in the direction of "Domestic Energy Assessors" that are required to do Energy Assessments as part of the goverments HIP scheme on house sales.
I have literally just started looking in to this field so know very little but does anyone know anything about this field ?
Is it under subscibed, is it likely to be swamped, etc.
The web page that i was given to look at (https://www.energy-assessors.com) state that the training course is about £2200 (inc VAT) and that you should be able to earn up to £50k per annum thereafter (£30k basic plus commission).
Being one of lifes sceptics this looks a little too good to be true....does anyone know anything about it/this field ?
Any feedback welcomed,
Mr_F.

I have also looked into this and recently attended a seminar on DEA.
At the moment they're too many grey areas to be investing that kind of money into training (in my opinion of course). I'd much rather wait to see how it goes from 1st June onwards before committing myself.
Good luck whatever you do0
