The 2018 NABCEP CE Conference is primarily intended for NABCEP Certified Professionals who need continuing education credits in order to maintain their certification. The content presented in this conference is geared toward seasoned PV industry professionals who have several years of installation and/or technical sales experience. This is the ideal opportunity for NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professionals and PV Technical Sales Professionals to obtain all of the continuing education credits needed for recertification (18 hours every three years). Non-certified professionals can earn up to 18 hours toward certification eligibility.
NABCEP is offering exclusive corporate sponsorship opportunities with a range of benefits, and recognition throughout the show. Conference sponsors not only help ensure a successful education event for the industry - they also help to support NABCEP in its mission of raising standards and promoting confidence in the renewable energy industry. Each sponsor is recognized on NABCEP's website for a full year and provided a custom sponsor logo for use in marketing activities.

Many Helped by Free Exam Rescheduling Due to Natural Disasters and LV Shooting
|
In the wake of a several disasters which devastated millions across North America and the Caribbean, NABCEP was able to provide some relief for several people affected by the recent hurricanes, wildfires, and the shooting in Las Vegas. A number of candidates
who were seriously impacted by these events took NABCEP up on its offer to reschedule their October exam for free.
In the weeks leading up to the exam, NABCEP staff received over a dozen calls and emails from people who lost their homes and businesses in the hurricanes and wildfires, as well as some who lost loved ones in the shooting. Although only a small portion of the more than 300 individuals scheduled to take one of NABCEP's certification exams was affected, NABCEP staff was happy to provide some relief and our hearts go out to all those gravely affected by these tragic events.
