Phius established the CPHC program in 2008 to distinguish accomplished passive building professionals in the marketplace. CPHC ® is a registered certification mark of Phius used with permission. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Enrollment and Training Structure: Phase I and Phase II \n				Registration for this training occurs on a monthly basis. On the first business day following the registration deadline\, registrants will receive instructions via email to gain access to self-guided content (Phase I) and select a live online (Phase II) session. Access to Phase I materials cannot be shared ahead of the registration deadline. \nPhius recommends choosing a Phase II start date that is at least 3-5 months after starting Phase I. See Upcoming Phase II Sessions below for upcoming Phase II sessions. \nPhase IPhase I of the CPHC training comprises a series of pre-recorded online virtual sessions taught by expert instructors\, collected readings\, recommended resources\, and quizzes; altogether comprising about 50-60 hours of learning material. Enrollees have access to Phase I materials for 12 months. \nRegistrants will have access to the Phase I self-guided training materials for 12 months from the time of registration through Phius. This includes access to the Phase I Online Exam as well\, 1 of the 2 required exams for CPHC® certification. The online exam can be taken at a time of your choosing\, but must be completed within the 12 month window\, and must be completed in one sitting. Additional information about the exam can be found on the Phius training site. \nPhase IIThe second phase of the training focuses on design exercises\, and WUFI Passive and THERM software training. Both Phase I and II are required to successfully complete the course and to be eligible to take the final exam. Phase II also includes group projects\, homework assignments and online tutorials. Phase II consists of eight 3-hour instructor-led training sessions across 2 weeks followed by a design exam. \nExamRegistrants will be enrolled in the Phase II Design Exam that opens at the end of their Phase II session. The exam is due 4 weeks after it opens\, and typically takes 20-25 hours to complete. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Upcoming Phase II Sessions\n				Phase II live sessions are scheduled by Phius and are subject to change.
