NABCEP PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORIES TERMS OF USE

The North American Board of Certified Energy Professionals (NABCEP) has three directories that list NABCEP Board Certified Professionals, NABCEP Associates and NABCEP Accredited Companies: the Board Certified Directory, the Associate Directory and the NABCEP Accredited Companies Directory (collectively the “Directories”).

The intended use of the Directories is to allow employers and consumers to verify the NABCEP certification status of individuals and companies; to ask questions about a product or service covered by the certification specialty; or to reach individual contractors for professional references. Note, NABCEP Associate credential holders do not list their companies; this is a benefit offered only to Board Certified Professionals. Renewable energy professionals may use these Directories for peer–to-peer professional discourse, knowledge sharing and best practices. Discussion boards are also available on NABCEP’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

EMPLOYERS AND CONTRACTORS SEEKING TO HIRE A NABCEP PROFESSIONAL may access and use the NABCEP Career Center for job postings and resumes.
