BPI Building Analyst/Envelope Certification

For All Prospective Students

It is important that you complete the following prior to attending classes:

Read the class training guide which will be mailed to you upon receipt of your registration. This training guide will also include a field manual which will be valuable for future use. The cost is included in the class fee.
As much as possible, arrange for life's other responsibilities to be put on "vacation setting" for the period of time during which you will be attending the class. Along with full training days, there will be evening reading and homework assignments. For this reason, we also recommend against long commutes.
