Now Grandfathering Infrared Thermography Certificants
Those who currently hold Level One or higher certifications in infrared thermography are now eligible to grandfather into the ACAC Council-certified Environmental Thermography program.
The ACAC grandfathering process allows candidates to waive the examination and examination fee; however, the certification board-awarding process still requires a full application and the appropriate field experience.
You can find program details on the ACAC website.
The Council-certified Environmental Thermography Investigator (CETI) requires two years field experience and the Council-certified Environmental Thermography Consultant (CETC) requires eight years. Field experience must focus on thermography applied to the building sciences.
These ACAC certifications are the first accredited IR Thermography certifications in the industry.
