TIPCHECK training courses

Every year EiiF organises training courses for insulation engineers, asset owners, energy auditors, energy managers and consultants to train them how to perform standardised high-quality thermal energy audits, so-called TIPCHECKs. The participants who pass the final exam receive their TIPCHECK certification and become TIPCHECK Experts.

A valid EiiF Membership is a prerequisite for most of the TIPCHECK courses; however, the TIPCHECK Corporate Expert training courses are open to non-members as well as long as special requirements are met. 

Our trainings are designed for:

  • insulation experts with at least 1 year of experience in industrial insulation projects
  • asset owners and their senior management, their sustainability and environmental staff, operations and facilities managers
  • certified energy auditors and energy managers
  • consultants

Our courses are also suitable for energy efficiency service providers, industry associations, business groups, local councils and non-profit organisations.

We also offer tailored EiiF workshops, either online on on-site. The workshops are ideal for up to 12 participants. The participants receive a TIPCHECK Ambassador certificate and there is no final exam. Please see Fees for more information or contact us
