BPI CEUs: 26

Course Description:

Crew Leader is based on a National Renewable Energy Laboratory/U.S. Department of
Energy Job Task Analysis (JTA)1 of the same name. Students taking this class should have experience
in the field as either an existing Crew Leader or a Retrofit Installer Technician. The course will
cover all aspects of the Crew Leader’s position. This includes: work order review, staffing,
executing the work order on site, preparing the house to execute the work order, managing the
project, testing and final documentation. Each part will be broken down into smaller subsections
which include: material selection, diagnostic testing, communication, construction math, building
science and retrofit techniques. This course is designed to prepare qualified students to take the
BPI Home Energy Professional Crew Leader certification exam.

The majority of the class is spent in our state-of-the-art training labs, practicing the skills
needed to become a successful Crew Leader. Students will get feedback about learning progress by
taking online quizzes via our Learning Management System (LMS) throughout the course. Students will
take one written test, also delivered through the LMS, and two hands-on tests of the skills that
were practiced. Upon successful completion of the tests, each participant will receive a certificate of completion.
