For each of the EnerGuide Rating System exams, Natural Resources Canada worked with subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop detailed competency profiles. These competency profiles describe the skills, knowledge and abilities required for the position. The exam competency profiles are sub-divided into three parts: competency categories; competencies; and learning objectives. The competency profiles are used as the basis for the development of an exam and identify the topics that candidates will be tested on during the exam. The competency profiles for all of the EnerGuide Rating System v15 exams are maintained and available at the Natural Resources Canada online resource centre. For instructions on how to access the online resource centre, please see section 9.2.
