Interesting that you would contrast certificate vs certification when Melissa is identified with her University of Wisconsin credential in the accompanying photo. This marketing strategy seems misguided. Reply
Hi David – This is a valid point. Many professionals in our industry list certificate credentials after their name. This common practice highlights one of the challenges we face when raising professional standards from certificate courses to accredited certification programs based on established codes and standards: ASTM, ASHRAE, ISO, CSA, etc. Thank you for your comment, and your interest in IIBEC.

So I’m going to need a degree to pursue your BECx “certification?” So arrogant. I hate it when people confuse education with intelligence. You can have a degree and still be a complete idiot. Reply
Although the details have not been finalized, it’s unlikely that a degree will be a requirement to pursue the BECx certification. If there is something in this article that makes you think that, please let us know so that we can clarify the text. Thanks. Reply
