The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) launched its Certified Electrical Inspectors (CEI) certification program. The certification program helps electrician inspectors who want to improve their skill set and understanding of key electrical safety principles and skills. It aims to provide electrical industry professionals with the required skills and knowledge to help them conduct safe electrical inspections and installations during construction, repair, and modification. 

Dan Pickel, Director of Certification and Accreditation at NFPA, said, “The CEI certification serves as a vital credential that showcases employees’ ability to identify and explain relevant electrical safety requirements, conduct electrical inspections, and effectively communicate with contractors, engineers, architects, and homeowners about electrical code requirements. Attaining this certificate can also enhance a worker’s credibility, marketability, and earning potential.”

This certification enhances the credibility, marketability, and earning potential of electrical workers, inspectors, and contractors. It is available in America, the Middle East, and North Africa. 

Benefits of CEI Certification:

• Providing opportunities to candidates, helping them showcase their ability to perform electrical inspections. 
• Highlight accomplishments and make yourself stand out. 
• Enhancing knowledge, credibility, earnings, and marketability.

The certified electrical inspector exam is three hours long and an open-book examination with 80 multiple-choice questions. You can take the exam anywhere, either at an in-person computer-based testing facility or on your personal or work device.

The initial application fee for the CEI examination is $399.
