North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP)
Passing the NABCEP Associate Exam is a way for candidates to demonstrate that they have achieved a basic knowledge of the fundamental principles of the application, design, installation and operation of the technology covered on the specific Exam. The knowledge demonstrated by passing a NABCEP Associate Exam does not replace the knowledge, skills or abilities of the electrical or other construction trades, or those of other professions or degree programs that require considerably more academic and/or practical experience. Individuals who pass a NABCEP Associate Exam will be provided with a NABCEP Associate Certificate. This achievement demonstrates that an individual has completed a course that covered the NABCEP Associate Learning Objectives and passed an industry-designed, NABCEP-issued Exam. Passing a NABCEP Associate Exam should not be confused with NABCEP's Professional Certifications. More information about NABCEP Professional Certification.
