Certification confirms that the installer has the knowledge to install the product in accordance
with all requirements. Certification is a natural outgrowth of verifiable training.A third party certification program provides a structured professional objective review of the installer’s abilities and makes a declaration as to these abilities.
Certification keeps the installer up-to-date with the industry by continuous technology transfer. The installer is kept up-to-date on the technical aspects of the job, along with a mechanism to continue to meet the requirements for certification.
Certification is handled at "arm’s length" to the training program, ensuring consistency and accuracy. The certification process and administration is handled by the Professional Skills Development Institute for Energy Conservation (PSDI). This organization works closely with NECA and has formed a strategic partnership in providing verifiable training.
PSDI certification sets the installer ahead of the competition and helps to identify them as one of the industry elite. It is not just a matter of attending a course, but rather the fact the installer has proven they meet a high standard set by the industry.
PSDI can provide both program development and delivery services for a complete industry based certification program.
