Getting Started - Which BPI Certification Should You Pursue?

BPI offers several certifications, and there are 3 ways to enter the industry, depending on your occupation and goals:

• BPI Building Science Principles - meant for admin staff in non-technical roles who need to know related terminology
• BPI Infiltration & Duct Leakage - meant for entry-level field technicians who need the hands-on skills to do their jobs
• BPI Building Analyst - meant for experienced field professionals who want to offer whole-house energy improvements

BPI Envelope is a common add-on for supervisors and senior field technicians who want to broaden their whole-house knowledge and provide energy improvement recommendations to their homeowner clients.

Course Formats - Blended vs. Live

Due to the hands-on nature of home energy auditing, Everblue's BPI training courses require in-person interaction. Students will spend time in a real house working with diagnostic equipment. We do, however, have flexible scheduling available.

• Blended - online pre-recorded instruction mixed with live hands-on field training and proctored exams
• Live - in-person classroom instruction with live hands-on field training and proctored exams

Our BPI Certification training is uniquely packaged into an intense week-long boot camp. During this week of training, you can prepare for any combination of the certifications listed above. The Blended schedule offers an online webinar that takes the place of the first 2 days of live in-person classroom training and is a great choice for those with a limited budget or ability to travel.

*Please Note: Field exams are proctored on a one-on-one basis. Each candidate is given a 2-hour slot for each of the certification exams attempted. These slots may carry over into additional training days. Exam slots will be scheduled first-come, first-served.
