Take the test!
Online training commences on 04 August 2020. The video lectures will start in the week from 31 August 2020. Lectures will be scheduled for a time that works for most (poll). While it is preferable that you attend lectures when they are scheduled, lectures will be recorded, and you still have the option of asking questions on the online forum if you missed the live opportunity. Shorter, instructional videos will complement the streamed lectures.
Additional charges for the optional examination on 04 December 2020 (NZ$690) apply. It is furthermore necessary to buy a copy of the latest Passive House Planning Package.
While successfully completing this course increases the chances of passing the externally assessed exam significantly, it is no guarantee. The exam is notoriously tough.
