CERTIFIED M&V FAST TRACK TO RECOGNITION AS A
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT & VERIFICATION ANALYST (PMVA)
Now that EVO and AEE are no longer delivering the CMVP certification in partnership, there is a new pathway forward for M&V certification in Australia as a Performance Measurement & Verification Analyst (PMVA), a certification administered by EVO.
The EEC is EVO's training partner in Australia for the delivery of the PMVA training and certification.
Anyone with a current CMVP certification may retain and renew that certification directly with AEE.
Further, anyone with a current CMVP certification may be reciprocally recognised (at no cost) by EVO as a PMVA though the fast track application, and will be supported to maintain the PMVA certification by the EEC. There are also pathways to 'reinstatement as a PMVA' (that attract a fee) should the CMVP certification have been allowed to lapse. All CMVP's in Australia have already sucessfully completed the same course that underpins PMVA, making reciprocal recognition easier.
Instructions to submit a PMVA Fast Track application
for anyone with a current or expired CMVP certification:
Note on identifiying yourself with EVO:
When you completed the original course, your trainer issued you with a complimentary EVO 1-year subscription. If you took that up, your EVO record exists with the email address you used at the time and you can proceed immediately to the fast track application here.
If you did not activate the complimentary EVO 1-year subscription when you completed the course then you are required to create a new acccount here before begining your fast track application. Tick the box for DOCUMENT ACCESS, enter your contact details and click SIGN UP. You may then proceed with the fast track application here using the account you just created.
Getting started on your fast track application:
- Once you have your EVO account, you may begin your fast track application;
- Once you have logged in, tick the box 'I have taken the M&V Fundamentals course'. This is the course you took as part of your CMVP certification;
- If your email address is not recognised, refer to the section above for next steps to identify your EVO account.
- Enter the training provider Energy Efficiency Council and the start date of your training (the year is sufficient);
- You will then be asked if you received a certification, what type of certification and if it's current or expired;
- You will be asked for a certification number or ID (refer to the certificate to locate the number) and the expiration year of your certification (current or expired);
- You may upload a copy of your certificate to facilitate the process, but it isn't mandatory;
- You will be asked to confirm the details EVO has on file and the name you woulld like on your new certificate;
- Submit. A confirmation screen will appear advising that EVO will get back to you within 5 working days about next steps, and you will receive a confirmation email.
- If your CMVP certification was due to expire 31 December 2022 and you wish to be reciprocally recognised by EVO as a PMVA, you will also need to undergo the standard certification renewal process.
Reinstatement of lapsed CMVP certification as a PMVA certification
- If you obtained your CMVP certification after 1 January 2016 and it has expired, you can reinstate the certification as PMVA through the same renewal process as outlined above;
- Read the CPD guidelines for certification renewal;
- If your CMVP expired before 1 January 2016, you may reinstate the certification as PMVA by resitting the exam through the EEC, obtaining a pass rate of at least 70% and paying the renewal fee; and
- Send an email to training@eec.org.au for further support.
