Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI) recently completed significant enhancements to its certification programs. BSCAI's certification programs set the standard in the building services industry. BSCAI’s Certified Building Service Executive (CBSE) and Registered Building Service Manager (RBSM) are recognized as symbols of individual excellence in the industry, with less than 1 percent of professionals having achieved the designations.

“The updated RBSM and CBSE programs are a reflection of our strong dedication to developing the personal and professional knowledge of building service contractors,” said Christopher Mundschenk, BSCAI Executive Vice President and CEO. “The designations provide recognition to BSC professionals who have proven their expertise and commitment to the industry, and serves to differentiate them from their peers.”

The seven volumes used in both the RBSM and CBSE study kits have been updated and enhanced to improve the training resources used in the programs. Exams and materials are reviewed annually by the BSCAI Certification Committee to ensure the examinees are being tested on relevant and timely information. New materials are available in the BSCAI marketplace and can be purchased individually or as a combined kit.
