The Quality Control Inspector course provides the groundwork for individuals interested in understanding and expanding their knowledge of monitoring and inspecting weatherized units. Students will learn about regulations and standards, desk monitoring, tools of the trade, building assessment, interpretation of infrared imagery, in-progress monitoring and what to include in a report. The course follows the Department for Energy's standardized curriculum for Quality Control Inspector and has been modified to align with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Job Task Analysis for Quality Control Inspector. The structure of the course includes lecture, discussion and practical experience through hands-on skill sets.
In addition, this course can serve as a review to prepare participants for the Building Performance Institute's (BPI) written and field exam for certification as a Quality Control Inspector. Learn more about Home Energy Professional certification. As a BPI Test Center, the Montana Weatherization Training Center proctors both exams for additional fees. These exams can be arranged by request.
