UNI CEI 11339 certification attests to the requirements for obtaining the professional qualification of an energy management expert (“EME”): a figure that “has the knowledge, experience and ability in the most efficient ways to handle the use of energy”.

Who can apply for certification?

Is there a single certification?
The certification is single from the point of view of the requirements, but in the application for certification you must specify, based on your work experience, in which sector (civil/industrial) you want to proceed. You can either certify for both at the same time or integrate the second sector at a later time.
