If you’ve been reading the other posts on this blog, you’ll know that to become a home energy auditor, you must get certified first. In past posts, I’ve written about the RESNET Level 1 course and RESNET Level 2 course that are available through the Home Energy Team Institute.
But taking the courses are only the first step in earning your home energy auditor certification. To complete the process, you have to take the official RESNET Exam.
RESNET Level 1 Exam
The RESNET Level 1 exam is a two hour written test that is administered by official RESNET staff at various locations throughout the country. If you decide to take both the RESNET courses and the exam through the Home Energy Team Institute, a 2 hour review session is included right before you take the actual exam. This review session is highly recommended and will help insure you are able to pass the test.
For more information about taking the certification test, see the RESNET Level 1 exam page on the Home Energy Team Institute site.
RESNET Level 2 Exam
If you have already successfully completed the level 1 exam and have taken the level 2 courses, you are ready to take the RESNET Level 2 exam. While the Level 2 course requires 6 hours of field training prior to taking the test, the exam itself is also a two hour written exam. And just like for Level 1, if you decide to take the Level 2 training course and exam through the Home Energy Team Institute, you will receive an included review session right before the exam takes place.
For more information about the Level 2 test, see the RESNET Level 2 exam page on the Home Energy Team Institute website.
