Energy Specialist can receive credit for the same classes included in the Weatherization Laborer bucket.
Employers can purchase either bucket alone or purchase the combined 300-hour program.
Combined program total: Approximately 300 hours
This bucket is designed for apprentices who will support field crews and complete hands-on weatherization tasks. It emphasizes safety, job-readiness, tools and materials, and practical weatherization implementation.
CREDIT NOTE FOR EMPLOYERS
Energy Specialist (Auditor) can be purchased as a standalone bucket. If the apprentice has already completed the Weatherization Laborer bucket, they receive credit for the same classes and do not repeat those hours.
This bucket focuses on diagnostics, energy auditing workflows, modeling and reporting, customer communication, and credential pathways.
WEATHERIZATION LABORER PLUS ENERGY SPECIALIST (AUDITOR)
This option includes all the courses listed in both buckets above. Employers who start with Weatherization Laborer can later upgrade and receive credit for overlapping classes, with no duplicate training hours.
