A number of manufacturers offer training for their authorized contractors that is specific to that brand but, as of early 2002, there is no certification program in Canada. A program was offered by the Canadian Earth Energy Association (the predecessor of the Earth Energy Society) until 1993. There is a program offered by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association and the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium in the United States. There are a number of related certifications (for heat loss analysis, ductwork installation, etc) offered by the Heating, Refrigeration & Airconditioning Institute of Canada, among others.
