This course is designed to provide the foundational knowledge and expertise necessary for the energy auditor and home performance contractor. 

How is the energy audit training material presented?

We recognize the fact that our students have busy live and little time to waste.  Because of this we chosen the most effective avenues to communicate each aspect of our course.  For some lessons this may be videos and photos, for others we'll use graphics and text.  At the end of each module, an exam is provided for the material covered.  Additionally, each student will receive a one year subscription to Home Energy Magazine, worth $85.00. 

Will this provide sufficient training to become an energy auditor?

For those interested in providing full energy audits for their customers, we recommend combining this course with our Energy Audit Training 301, Performing the Comprehensive Building Assessment.

What is the pace of the course?

The benefit of an online energy audit training course is you can start whenever is most convenient for you.  Our classes are open enrollment and self-paced, allowing students to learn on their own schedule.  Students are alloted 90 days to complete the course and you must obtain a minimum of 75% to obtain the CEU's.  And don't worry, you're not alone during the coursework.  Upon enrollment in the energy audit training online, you'll be assigned a subject matter expert to help answer your questions for the duration of the course.
