Whether you're a training organization, certification body, or energy efficiency program administrator, this template helps you assess rater competency across all critical areas: diagnostic testing procedures, HERS Index calculations, thermal bypass inspections, duct leakage testing, and code compliance verification. The form captures detailed information about training completion, field experience, technical knowledge, and hands-on testing proficiency.

Built with Paperform, this certification form gives you complete control over the certification workflow. Use conditional logic to adjust requirements based on certification level (provisional, certified, or master rater), collect supporting documentation and test results through secure file uploads, and automatically route completed certifications through your approval process with Stepper workflows. You can even integrate with your student management system or certification database to keep records synchronized across platforms.

The professional design ensures your certification process feels credible and authoritative while remaining accessible to candidates. Customize the form to match your organization's specific requirements, add your logo and branding, and deliver instant confirmation when certifications are issued.
