Thought some of you might be interested in this San Deigo based training program. For disclosure purposes, I'm not connected with the program, but was invited to attend...
We’re rolling out the Statewide Contractor Training Program in San Diego August 1st and have seats available for another 12-16 students. Building Performance Institute Building Analyst certification is the first step that contractors must take to be eligible for participation in Energy Upgrade CA customer incentive programs.
We’re looking for 12 trainees for sessions starting August 1 and August 8 in San Diego. The classes usually cost $1600.00 and are currently offered in San Diego for a $500 exam fee. Through our program, the exam fees, training and materials are all covered for a $65 per seat fee. The training requires 5 full days plus 2 hours field exam. Priority will be given to home inspectors and experienced contractors who serve Energy Upgrade California customers in one or more of the counties on the attached map. For more information on Energy Upgrade California, see
www.energyupgradeca.org
The program will offer HERS II and BPI Building Analyst training and exams in 30 counties for 1250 trainees when it officially launches at the end of August, but until then, we are recruiting trainees by word of mouth. If you have any home inspectors who would benefit, please have them contact Elizabeth Perez at GC Green this week.
The schedule will be August 1-4 class and field training, August 5 optional intensive field practice (cost is $1000 for 2-4 people), August 8 written exam, August 9th duct blast and EnergyPro training, with field exams to be scheduled (2 hours, on one of the days between the 10th and 12th). Classes run from 8:30am to 5pm and the first one will be held at a location on Convoy Street in San Diego. The August 8th class is the same: four days class and field training, one day off/optional; written exam the following Monday, and field exams scheduled for 2 hours between August 17th and 19th.
