Will I get Building Performance Institute (BPI) Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?

Presentations that qualify will show the number of BPI CEUs on the agenda.  BPI Professionals will need to sign in for the session at the registration desk to verify attendance, but will need to self-report to BPI, following their directions below. Keep a copy of the agenda and highlight the sessions you attended so you have the details to complete your submission.  

To self-report your CEU’s, please login into your account, https://spero.bpi.org/.  Once logged in, select the “Testing & CEU portal” button at the top right of the screen. On the left side select “Add Continuing Education Units/Credits CEUs” and select the green “Add CEUs” button and on the next page enter the training title, name of the training provider (presenter), date of the training and training type.  On the next page, enter the length of the class in hours (do not include time for breaks, lunch, or testing), select the training category and upload your proof of attendance (certificate of completion or letter from the provider verifying attendance is required).  You will then agree to the terms and click submit. 


 Is there a discount for multiple attendees from the same organization?
