The Carbon Auditing Professional (CAP) training is designed to equip participants with the background knowledge, fundamentals, guidance, and tools to successfully carry out carbon auditing and management. Our professional instructor assists participants in identifying opportunities for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, and applying practical strategies that improve the bottom line of businesses while mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Energy professionals, such as energy managers, engineers, facility and business managers, industrial engineers, supply chain professionals, utility officials, consultants, contractors, financial officers, and energy service company professionals, can benefit from this course by enhancing their knowledge and skills in identifying and implementing the best GHG reduction strategies. With a diverse group of energy professionals participating in the course, participants are provided with an excellent opportunity for peer-to-peer learning and networking. This program is also ideal for young energy professionals who want to help their organization realize the additional benefits of GHG reductions.
This three-day program is ideal for energy professionals who wish to help their organizations realize the additional benefits of GHG reductions, including cost avoidance, risk reduction, competitiveness, operational productivity, shareholder value, community outreach, and branding. Participants learn and understand the principles of the Paris Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, and other guidelines published by WRI, ISO, and WBCSD. For firms engaged in these areas, carbon auditing professionals (CAPs) can interpret current trends and legal requirements, conduct carbon audits, establish emission inventories, identify reduction opportunities, set up a GHG emission management program, report carbon emissions in compliance with international standards, and complete the emissions verification process. Additionally, CAPs possess the skills to structure financing and marketing strategies to maximize project success.

*Please note the presentation (slides) of this course will be shipped to your preferred mailing address. If your registration was made too close to the course (two weeks before the course starts or less), there is a possibility that you may receive it during or even after the course ends. If this happens, we will request AEE's permission to share the digital version with you, so you can follow the course as you wait for your material to arrive.
CIET is the official Canadian partner of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) and is exclusively approved to deliver AEE certifications throughout Canada.
Please note that CIET only delivers AEE training programs in Canada. If you are located outside of Canada and wish to attend, please visit the AEE website.
Your enrollment includes all presentation slides and supplemental training material to ensure your success.
Registration for an AEE exam can be made while registering for an AEE course or through our AEE Exam Retake cohorts. All virtual exams are taken through the Proctor U platform. Once you have registered and paid the rewrite/exam only fee, your name will be forwarded to AEE and Proctor U.
You should receive an email from noreply@proctoru.com 3 to 5 days before the session starts. This email will contain a link for you to schedule your four-hour remote exam on their platform. Please make sure you check your junk inbox or quarantine folder for the email; if you still cannot find it once the course or the exam retake cohort has started, you must notify us at support@cietcanada.com and request for the email to be resent to you.
Should you wish to reschedule your exam under the same cohort, you may do so through the same link provided by Proctor U; however, to modify an exam that is already scheduled, you need to do so at least 24h before the existing time slot.
You will need to schedule your exam at least 72 hours ahead of desired exam time to avoid premium fees charged directly to you by Proctor U. Exams scheduled less than 72 hours from their desired exam time will be charged a premium scheduling fee.
Candidates are unable to schedule their exams less than 24 hours from the desired exam time.
To ensure a smooth exam process, it is crutial to read all Proctor U remote proctoring procedures (especially the Proctor U Guidelines) below:
You will receive a letter from CIET via email within 60 days of completion of the exam that will include the OFFICIAL test score. Please do not contact CIET or AEE about your test results before the end of the 60-day period. Exam results are not available on CIET’s or AEE’s website.
All candidates seeking an AEE certification (CEM, CMVP, CEA or CBCP) must complete the designated course, pass the exam, and meet the eligibility criteria. You can find all upcoming AEE courses in our CIET calendar here.
An AEE designation can be used with the name on organizational letterhead, business cards, and all forms of address. Certification is for individuals only. The CEM designation may not be used to imply that an organization or firm is certified.
The exam is conducted through remote proctoring, which involves taking an online exam using a personal computer while being monitored live by a Proctor via webcam and screen-sharing technology. The exam is open-book, and a calculator, ruler, book tabs, and a protractor are allowed.
If you wish to reschedule your exam for another cohort, you can do so using the same link provided by ProctorU; however, to modify an exam that is already scheduled, you must do so at least 24 hours before the initially chosen time. You will need to schedule your exam at least 72 hours ahead of the desired time to avoid additional fees charged directly by ProctorU.
If you want to postpone the exam to a different cohort, a fee of $150 plus taxes applies unless you provide medical proof.

Course Description
The online CEM course was very professionally put together. The team instructors were really knowledgeable and engaging, and the exam was administered and very easy to take through proctorU.
The Foundation Level Exam Prep Course was very insightful, well structured and delivered, and the compilation of resources was extremely helpful. This was an exceptional training experience. Money well spent. I am glad I chose CIET for preparing the NRCan Foundation Level Exam.
Working with CIET has made developing a training plan for trade allies in my network easy. The team at CIET is knowledgeable, organized and passionate about delivering quality material in their course, and they work well to deliver customizable options for all of your training needs.
We have had great success with the NRCan Foundation Level Exam Exam Prep course and the Making the Case for Energy Management Projects. We look forward to offering more training programs to our trade allies.
A couple of months back, I was an unemployed immigrant new graduate looking for learning opportunities to enhance my skills when one of my friends shared with me about the discounted price for the Energy Management Professional 101 (EMP) course during this pandemic. I am really happy about what CIET is doing now. You guys are impacting so many young professionals like me.
Thanks to the Becoming Carbon Neutral course, I gained a better understanding of how the industry's approach to carbon neutrality is taking significant strides towards standardization, definitions, and requirements. Unfortunately, some requirements are challenging for a small northern jurisdiction like Yukon. But knowing the industry standards was tremendously helpful for figuring out where we are and where we need to be. I was able to identify areas where we already do well, pinpoint gaps, and allocate resources accordingly. The course helped me understand the overall trajectory that our organization should follow to achieve carbon neutrality.
My background in energy efficiency was primarily at the industrial process level, so I chose to train with CIET to expand my knowledge on building energy systems. I completed the Advanced Course on Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) as well as the two courses on Building Automation Systems. The new concepts I learned, enhanced by the knowledge of the trainers and the other participants, quickly helped me identify opportunities relating to energy, comfort, and maintenance, most often "low cost" ones.
In our experience, CIET courses deliver a great foundation for all energy professionals—at any stage of their career or experience level. We were very satisfied with the facilitation and received positive feedback from QuadReal participants. It is a pleasure to work with CIET.
