Every price, on one page.

Canadian dollars, taxes extra, the same for everyone. NABCEP fees are paid separately to NABCEP and are listed here so you can see the total before you commit.

There is a reason no Canadian training provider publishes prices: it removes the chance to read the buyer first. We would rather have the buyers who arrive already knowing what it costs.

Prices by certifying body

Each certifying body sets its own rules, its own exam structure and its own renewal cycle, so each one has its own price page rather than a shared table that hides the differences.

Everything below is the whole list on one page. If you only want one body, the links above are faster.

$240CADSame for everyone
What the exam seat includesNo second invoice
The NABCEP examination fee, reserving your exam, and confirming your appointment with the proctor for the online sitting. A sitting at one of our locations is by appointment. You choose your own date and the instructions arrive by email. Book a seat →

Why the exam seat costs the same either way

A testing centre that charges its own students less, or seats them sooner, is not a testing centre — it is a sales funnel with a proctor in it. One fee, one calendar, one set of rules, whoever you studied with. If that costs us a few course sales, it is worth more than it costs.

BPI exams

Solar Canada is also a BPI Test Center, administering Building Performance Institute certification examinations — a different certifying body for a different trade. BPI neither sets nor collects exam fees for its exam-based certifications; the test centre prices them, which is why there is no national BPI price list to compare anybody against.

How BPI fees work, in full → · Book a BPI exam →

Group and employer training

Employers putting three or more people through the same course at the same time are invoiced at a group rate, with attendance records issued for your files. On-site delivery at your premises is available where the group is large enough to justify the travel. Tell us the headcount and the city on the enrolment form and you will get a figure back, not a discovery call.

What is not on this list

Operations and maintenance training is in development for 2027 and is not sold yet. We do not sell exam guarantees, pass-or-repeat packages, or “certification bundles”, because the exam is NABCEP's and no provider can promise a result on it. We also do not sell leads, licences or territories.

Prices change

These prices were set for the 2026–27 intake and are reviewed annually. NABCEP fees are set by NABCEP, are quoted in US dollars, and can change at any time — check them against NABCEP's own fee schedule before you budget. Taxes are added at invoice.

Common questions

Why do you publish prices when nobody else does?

Because a price behind a form is a price that changes depending on who is asking. Publishing means you can compare us against the American online providers, which is what most Canadian candidates end up doing anyway.

Is the exam fee included in the Fast-Track?

No. The examination is booked and paid for separately from any course, at the same price for every candidate whether they trained with us or not. One seat fee covers the NABCEP examination fee, reserving your exam, and confirming your appointment with the proctor, and there is nothing further to pay NABCEP.

Can I pay in instalments?

Tell us on the enrolment form. Instalments are arranged case by case on the longer programmes and invoiced accordingly.

Do you charge more if my employer is paying?

No. The price is the price. Employers get an invoice and attendance records instead of a receipt.
