How To Become An Energy Advisor

To become an energy advisor, you must attend a 5 day energy advisor workshop that covers all of the job functions of an energy advisor. You must perform a minimum of two house evaluations in the presence of a recognized instructor and be supervised during
a probationary period during which a minimum of seven house evaluations will be assessed and quality assured by the instructor. The instructor will either recommend that you write the online exam (Must get 75% minimum to pass, if not then a re-write cannot
be done for 90 days)or that you complete additional evaluations under supervision until your performance meets the requirement standards. The training will give you the basic skills and knowledge required to be an energy advisor. The field evaluations will provide
you with supervised practice in performing all the tests and evaluation procedures before completing evaluations independently.

from the end of the workshop.
