Continuing education is an integral aspect of BPI's certifications and helps BPI Certified Professionals keep up with a constantly evolving industry. You can get CEUs at any national or regional industry conferences, by participating in courses or webinars, and in a variety of other ways. Check out the current CEU-approved options in the CEU opportunity database.

In general, BPI's continuing education requirements are as follows:

• Attendance must be verifiable
• All continuing education must be documented and submitted to BPI

You can submit your CEUs through the Candidate CEU Portal, using your login and password. To learn more about self-reporting CEUs, please click here.

Please review the Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Policies and Procedures document for more information and to determine if an online exam is required for certification renewal.

If a course you have taken is not approved by BPI, you may still be able to earn CEUs. First, you must determine if the course qualifies for your designation:

• Core Certifications: The course must align with BPI's Standards and Knowledge Lists, which can be found in BPI's Core Certification Scheme Handbook. 
• Home Energy Professional (HEP) Certifications: The course must align with the knowledge, skills & abilities in the designated Certification Scheme Handbook. Once you have determined that the course aligns with BPI, log into your CEU Account with your existing credentials and self-report the course. 
• Building Analyst Technician: The course must align with the knowledge, skills & abilities in the BA-T Certification Scheme Handbook, found on the BA-T page.
• Building Analyst Professional: The course must align with the knowledge, skills & abilities in the BA-P Certification Scheme Handbook, found on the BA-P page.

CEU Providers, whose courses have been pre-approved by BPI, are given 2 weeks to upload CEUs. You can expect a longer processing time for CEUs earned at technical conferences due to the large number of attendees.

CEUs that are not BPI pre-approved must be self-reported by the BPI Certified Professional, through the CEU Account. See the "How do I self-report CEUs?" FAQ.
