The Certified Industrial Energy Professional (CIEP) training is designed to equip professionals with the skills required to optimize energy efficiency in industrial settings. The CIEP program covers various aspects of energy management, such as energy auditing, system optimization, energy procurement, and sustainability practices in industrial facilities. Participants learn how to analyze energy usage, identify potential energy saving opportunities, and develop strategies to reduce energy consumption and costs.
Over five days, participants explore topics such as energy management fundamentals, energy auditing techniques, efficient energy technologies, industrial process optimization, renewable energy integration, and regulatory compliance. They gain insights into the most effective methods for assessing energy performance, implementing measures to save energy, and measuring the effects of energy efficiency initiatives in industrial settings.
After completing the CIEP program, participants are eligible to take the certification exam to become a CIEP. This certification validates and recognizes expertise in industrial energy management and showcases the ability to effectively execute energy conservation methods, enhance operation productivity, and decrease environmental effects in industrial environments.

Please note the eligibility criteria applies only to obtaining the certification and does not preclude you from attending the course.
*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.
