CERTIFICATION RESOURCES

The following resources will help certification candidates understand and prepare for the Certified Chimney Professional, Certified Chimney Reliner and Certified Chimney Journeyman exams.

NCSG offers numerous training opportunities and educational events, many of which are approved for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) toward the recertification of NCSG certifications.

In addition to NCSG-sponsored educational offerings, NCSG recognizes CEU-approved courses provided by other organizations and industry education providers. Certificants may earn CEUs through eligible courses offered by a variety of providers, provided the courses have been independently reviewed and approved by NCSG for recertification purposes.
