NABCEP Board Certification and Associate credentialing exams are now available as live online proctored (LOP) exams. You can now earn your NABCEP Board Certification and Associate credentials on your own computer and without having to leave your home. LOP reduces the costs and safety concerns associated with traveling to testing sites, which makes NABCEP’s exams more accessible and safe, while also decreasing our collective carbon footprint.

Entry-level PV Installer
Breaking into the industry
“Unemployment gave me the opportunity to reevaluate my goals, and I realized that I wanted to get into the renewable energy industry to do my part to help the planet. The problem was that I had zero experience or training. I took a NABCEP registered course and then passed my NABCEP PV Associate exam, which helped me break into the industry and land a new job!”
Barbara Lane
Experienced PV System Designer
Set yourself apart
“While I was recently looking for a job as a PV system designer, I needed a way to set myself apart from the competition to find a great job. I earned my NABCEP Board Certification, and that stood out to employers more than anything else on my resume. I highly recommend getting NABCEP Board Certified to anyone looking for a better job.”
Marie Jones
Marketing Manager
Attract more customers
“I had been NABCEP Board Certified for a few years, but I recently added the NABCEP logo and digital badge to my company’s website and my email signature. The response from customers looking to invest in PV has been amazing! I wish I had used my NABCEP Board Certification to attract customers sooner. Thanks, NABCEP!”
