CEU Providers

 
Who can become a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Provider?

CEU Providers are existing BPI Test Centers, training providers, or other external organizations (e.g., community colleges, conferences, or universities). BPI CEU Providers offer training opportunities for BPI Certified Profressionals seeking to renew their certifications. CEU Providers help BPI Certified Profressionals maintain the highest level of quality and professionalism and get CEUs to recertify.

Please note: Independent organizations provide training, BPI exam preparation, and CEU courses. BPI does not endorse or approve training for BPI exams, CEU course content, or instructors. BPI does not guarantee the quality of these courses or instruction. While BPI may award CEUs for some courses, and other types of education, BPI only reviews them for basic content and length.

What are the benefits of becoming a CEU Provider?
  • If the CEU Provider is also a BPI Test Center, the CEU Provider will be able to submit courses for CEU approval at no charge.
  • Free advertising for your classes; classes are listed here where BPI Certified Professionals can easily search for them. 
  • The CEU Provider will oversee the entire process from course submission to finish. Thus, CEU Providers are not required to provide BPI Certified Professionals with Certificates of Completion since they are handling the CEU process in its entirety. 
What curricula should I develop as a CEU Provider?

Your courses should support BPI certifications. Please see our Certification pages for their descriptions and applicable Certification Scheme Handbooks.

  • For the Home Energy Professional (HEP) certifications, BPI-recognized CEUs must conform with the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) in the designated Certification Scheme Handbook.
  • For all other BPI certifications, BPI-recognized CEUs must align with BPI Testing Knowledge Lists and BPI Standards.
How do I become a CEU Provider?

If you go to your CEU Provider Account, you can register to become a CEU Provider. You can immediately start to submit courses. Please review BPI's CEU Provider Policy and CEU Policies and Procedures for detailed information about how to submit and information on how BPI awards credits.
