Get Certified!
There are three (3) certifications available to the modern Chimney Professional. You can achieve the designation of Certified Chimney Professional™ and/or the Certified Chimney Reliner™. Both of these certifications require a knowledge of the field of study which can be achieved by experience, a study of the Manual for each course and (for the Certified Chimney Professional™) a study of the NFPA 211, 2013 edition. The veteran chimney professional can also earn the Certified Master Chimney Technician™ designation by having a minimum of 8 years full time experience and a minimum of 6 years of certification and by completing the application process.
Here is the process for the Certified Chimney Professional certification or the Certified Chimney Reliner Certification: (It works the same for either Certification)
- Create your personal profile. (Note, you will need to upload a photo as part of this process for your Certification Badge and Certificate later.)
- Order the Manual and study. Please print out these directions for ordering, and follow step by step. Also: Order the NFPA 211 also if you are certifying for the Certified Chimney Professional™ designation.
