Originally certified by the CSIA, we decided to take a different route and go with a new certification we believe to be a better organization that concentrates on the true knowledge of the professional coming to your door. Six years ago I was hired by a company here in Illinois and the following Monday sent to Indiana for training. The "training" was for 5 days and I was deemed a chimney professional and sent out the door with a badge. It reminded me of being in the Army, they didn't really teach me a thing at the school. I was expected to learn on the job. This certification is for the advanced chimney professional and we felt it was the best fit for this company.

Certified Chimney Professionals™ & Certified Chimney Reliners™ is an organization: “By Sweeps … For Sweeps™.”Organized to meet the needs of chimney professionals across the US, Certified Chimney Professionals™ & Certified Chimney Reliners™ is an educational organization which currently offers two certification programs for chimney professionals who wish to:

1. Further their education in the field of chimney safety, inspection, cleaning, use, & repair.
2. Prove from an unbiased perspective their expertise by passing professional level testing and achieving the designation of a Certified Chimney Professional™ or as a Certified Chimney Reliner™.
3. Work with a nationally recognized chimney certification organization who understands the needs of chimney sweeps and homeowners from a firsthand perspective. As we say: “By Sweeps … For Sweeps™.”

Certified Chimney Professionals™ & Certified Chimney Reliners™ was birthed by chimney sweeps with multiple decades of experience in the chimney inspection/cleaning/repair field. For many years several sweeps met to discuss the formation of a new chimney certification organization which understood the following:

1. The importance of a professional level of education and certification testing in the chimney field from all perspectives;
2. The frustration of continuing high fees, off year yearly fees and other rules and regulations from other organizations which they felt did not contribute to their chimney certification;
3. The need for another chimney certification organization which would provide a high level certification through professional level testing including the latest information from the NFPA and other chimney related fire safety organizations at a reasonable cost & without unreasonable fees and requirements;
4. The need for a thorough chimney relining certification covering all common forms of chimney relining which was not currently available for certification;
5. Having a chimney certification organization which listened and responded to the needs and desires of the common chimney professional and chimney service company, and would balance education, certification and costs/fees.

From these meetings Certified Chimney Professionals™ & Certified Chimney Reliners™ was birthed and has been met with wide reception from sweeps all across the US!

We encourage all chimney professionals to understand that: You Have A Choice in the field of Chimney Certification! and to: Do What Is Best for Your Company!

With over 8,000 Chimney Sweeps and approximately 1,500 certified through other companies at this writing, there is ample room and need for the many Sweeps who have dropped past certification due to high costs, and for those considering becoming certified, to consider becoming a Certified Chimney Professional™ and a Certified Chimney Reliner™.

Additionally, we offer the ONLY comprehensive chimney relining certification in the United States. We encourage all chimney professionals who offer chimney relining to set themselves above the competition and achieve the designation of Certified Chimney Reliner™. We believe you owe this to yourself and your customer, the homeowner.

Both certifications are intended to fortify the experienced chimney professional’s knowledge, and to allow the experienced chimney professional the chance to prove by independent testing that they have attained a professional level of knowledge of the codes, standards and practices of a Certified Chimney Professional™ or a Certified Chimney Reliner™ and to achieve the designation. Check to be sure this company is certified:
