IREC Credentialing and Quality Assurance

As the leading accrediting body for clean energy training in the United States, IREC has accredited over 200 clean energy training programs and certified more than 100 clean energy instructors. The IREC standards and rigorous application process require successful applicants to demonstrate a robust approach to quality that translates into all major areas of training program operations.

IREC-accredited training providers and certified instructors and master trainers have demonstrated that they meet or exceed the high bar set by the IREC standards. This includes the recruitment and professional development of highly qualified training program personnel, learner support and resources, innovative curriculum and learning assessments, training center safety, and the promotion of safe work practices,

IREC develops and contributes to the content of national standards for training and certification in the building performance, energy efficiency, and renewable energy sectors. We have authored and re-designed national certification exams for clean energy and allied industries.

“The IREC accreditation … solidifies our reputation as a high-quality training center committed to meeting rigorous industry standards. This recognition will further strengthen our position as a trusted provider of weatherization education and training in the region.”
