How to Become an Energy Advisor

Updated: Apr 19

Becoming a Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Registered Energy Advisor is a rewarding and impactful career path for individuals passionate about energy and sustainability. If you're looking to embark on this journey, here is a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve your goal.


How to Become an Energy Advisor


Step 1: Pass the NRCan Foundation Level Exam


To kickstart your journey towards becoming an NRCan Registered Energy Advisor, you must first pass the NRCan Foundation Level Exam. This exam serves as the foundation for your Energy Advisor knowledge and will equip you with the fundamental skills required for the role.


Step 2: Pass the NRCan Energy Advisor Exam (House)

The next crucial step is to pass the NRCan Energy Advisor Exam (House). This exam focuses specifically on the EnerGuide Rating System and the procedures to conduct an EnerGuide home energy audit, preparing you to assess, analyze, and recommend energy-saving solutions for houses.


Step 3: Complete 6 Probationary Energy Audits


After passing the required exams, you will need to gain practical experience by completing six probationary energy audits. These audits must be conducted with an NRCan licensed service organization and should consist of two observed audits, two solo audits, and two supervised audits. This hands-on experience is invaluable in honing your skills as an Energy Advisor.


Step 4: Get Registered and Start Your Journey


Upon successfully completing the probationary energy audits, you can proceed to register as an Energy Advisor with NRCan. Once registered, you can start working with an NRCan licensed service organization, where you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills in real-world home energy audits.


A career as an NRCan Registered Energy Advisor offers great pay and flexibility. You have the freedom to be self-employed, set your own schedule, choose your work location, control your earnings and contribute to a net-zero emissions future.
