On day one of the Everblue BPI Certification course you are registered for, the instructor will distribute the field exam time-slot assignments. The field exam is a two-hour, one-on-one exam proctored by the instructor on Day 4 or 5. If you have a scheduling conflict, please see your instructor on day one. We will do our best to accommodate. Under certain circumstances, instructors can schedule field exams at a later date. Should you need to cancel or change your field test time slot, we will make reasonable attempts to accommodate you but we make no guarantee nor will we provide compensation in the event that we cannot accommodate you.

What are the training tools? Will I need to purchase my own tools?

During the course, we will demonstrate and train you to use the following tools involved in Building Analyst certification: automatic blower doors, static pressure test kits, combustion analyzers, and gas leak detectors.

Do you offer other BPI certifications?

Yes, we offer both Building Analyst and Envelope-Shell Professional training, which are the certifications that encompass a home's entire structure and all of its interconnected parts. 

Can my Company get BPI Accredited?

Yes, your company may qualify to be a BPI Accredited Home Performance Contractor if you employ a minimum of one full-time Building Analyst and one full-time specialty designation (such as an Envelope Professional) according to the work performed. These designations can be held by the same individual. Though there may be additional requirements listed at BPI.org, Everblue can help your company meet the requirement by training you or your employee(s) to be Building Analysts AND Envelope Professionals, and there may be group/multi-course discounts available.

What if I do not pass the exam?

If after taking our course you do not pass either the written or field exam, we will work with you to retest the appropriate portion. You will be responsible, however, for the BPI exam fee: $250 for the written exam and $400 for the field exam.
