15 Questions you NEED to ask before selecting an Energy Audit course
Where you take your classes, who teaches you and what you learn DOES make a difference with how successful you’ll be.
You want a school with experienced owners and instructors who have the certification that you want to achieve and the equipment that you will need hands-on training with to pass your exams. Hint: If they rent space, don't have a permanant location, have instructors who are just starting out, there is a reason.
