Tue, Jan 31, 2012  |  7–8 pm

Who says preparing for national certification exams has to be tedious? This workshop will use an interactive game show format to bring some fun to the serious business of building performance knowledge, training and testing.

If you want to test your knowledge against industry-accepted residential certification exams, this is the place to do it.

As a participant in this session, you will:

• Gain familiarity with the topics, types of questions and format of leading national certification exams
• Test your knowledge of building performance topics as they relate to national certification standards
• Assess your preparedness for industry-recognized building performance exams—understand what you know and recognize what you don't
• Have fun while you're learning, and get to know other building professionals

Demonstrate your professionalism by attaining national certification. This workshop will help you get there—and enjoy a few laughs along the way.
