New Bundle Announcement: The Clean Energy Transition | Career Launch Pack Brit Heller While federal policy is shaking up the clean energy sector, the fundamental drivers behind renewable energy and building performance remain stronger than ever. Climate change continues to demand action, energy costs keep rising, and consumers increasingly seek ways to reduce their energy consumption and bills. Clean energy technologies like solar remain among the most cost-effective energy sources available, and building performance improvements deliver immediate, measurable savings. We’re excited to announce our most comprehensive career preparation package for this resilient sector: The Clean Energy Transition | Career Launch Pack. Four Credentials, One Powerful Foundation This comprehensive career preparation package prepares you for four essential industry credentials that provide the foundation knowledge, practical skills, and safety training employers actively seek for solar installation, building performance, and electrical positions. BPI Building Science Principles (BSP) Certificate of Knowledge Before you can improve a building’s energy performance, you need to understand how buildings actually work. This credential teaches you the fundamental interactions between building systems that affect comfort, health, and energy efficiency. It’s the essential foundation that sets you apart from candidates who only know one piece of the puzzle. NABCEP PV Associate (PVA) This is a highly sought after entry-level credential in solar energy, demonstrating that you understand the foundation, technology, and market. This credential helps to open the door to solar installation, sales, and project management roles. NFPA Certified Electrical Safety Technician (CEST) Safety is so important in the electrical and renewable energy fields. This 6-hour intensive training based on NFPA 70E standards teaches you to work safely around energized electrical equipment, understand approach boundaries, and implement proper safety protocols. It’s knowledge that could literally save your life. OSHA 10-Hour Construction Round out your safety credentials with this official Department of Labor/OSHA training. You’ll learn about the Focus Four hazards, proper use of personal protective equipment, and how to maintain a culture of safety on job sites. Many employers require this credential before you can even step foot on their projects. Learn from the Industry’s Best You’ll learn from industry experts who’ve built successful careers in clean energy and building performance: Brynn Cooksey brings real-world expertise as a Certified IREC Master Trainer and renowned building science instructor. His deep understanding of how buildings perform from running his own company will give you insights that textbooks alone can’t provide. Sean White earned recognition as the 2014 Clean Energy Trainer of the Year and is also an IREC Master Trainer. His solar expertise has helped thousands of students successfully launch and advance in the solar industry. Jason Brozen combines 28 years of master electrician experience with the unique perspective of an arc flash survivor. His electrical safety instruction carries the weight of real-world experience and a deep commitment to keeping workers safe. Why Learn These Different Areas The clean energy industry isn’t looking for specialists who only know one narrow skill – they want well-rounded professionals who understand the big picture. A solar installer who also understands building science can identify opportunities to improve overall building performance. An energy auditor with electrical safety training can work more effectively with electrical contractors. These credentials complement each other to make you a more valuable and versatile candidate. Ready to Launch Your Clean Energy Career? The transition to clean energy is happening and this The Clean Energy Transition | Career Launch Pack gives you an advantage to stand out in the job market and demonstrate your commitment to professional excellence. Investment Details: The bundle includes all four training programs. Please note that exam fees are separate: BPI BSP ($109), NABCEP PVA ($150), and NFPA CEST ($499).
