Requirements for certification
Candidates must meet the pre-requisites for certification and be assessed as eligible against the areas of assessment
Pre-requisites for certification
The pre-requisites for certification are the hurdle requirements that must be cleared before an application for certification is considered. Meeting the pre-requisites for certification does not mean the candidate will be certified; it means that their application will be assessed in detail.
Candidates for certification as a CEES or CEEL must demonstrate that they have experience working on energy efficiency retrofits of commercial buildings. There are different experience requirements for CEES and CEEL candidates depending on their qualifications.

Candidates for CEES certification must be assessed as eligible in seven out of ten areas, including three core areas (Areas 1, 2 and 3).
Candidates for certification as a CEEL are assessed against the same ten areas, however the required skills and knowledge in each area are more stringent than for CEES candidates, and a greater emphasis is placed on the candidate's experience.
Candidates for CEEL certification must be assessed as eligible in all ten areas.
