SnapCount Certification

The gold standard in retrofit project quality.

SNAP-A (Lighting) is SnapCount's official certification for lighting audit professionals. It's the ultimate seal of approval — verifiable, industry-recognized proof that you've mastered the SnapCount platform and core lighting audit fundamentals. Certified specialists stand out to clients and partners, and gain access to opportunities across the SnapCount network.

Why Get Certified

A SnapCount Certification shows clients and colleagues that you have the skills to run lighting audits effectively on the SnapCount platform — and that you're committed to staying current in the field.

• Verifiable, industry-recognized credential
• Demonstrates SnapCount platform mastery
• Sets you apart to clients and partners
• Opens doors across the network

Certification isn't a prerequisite for great work — it's a way to prove you're already doing it.

Who's Eligible

Certification is earned by individuals, not companies, and it stays with you even if you change employers. Any active SnapCount user who has completed a minimum of 3 audits within the platform can pursue the SNAP-A (Lighting) credential — whether you've been auditing for years or recently hit your stride.

The SNAP-A (Lighting) Exam

Once you submit your application, payment, and credentials, you will receive access to the certification platform. From there, you can download the SnapCount Mobile and Web Audit guides for review and begin the test once you are ready. Registered applicants will have six months from the date of enrollment to complete the exam successfully.

The SNAP-A (Lighting) Examination

The exam is open-book and completed entirely online. It assesses your knowledge of core lighting technology and concepts, plus your mastery of the SnapCount auditing platform.

• 5 sections, covering general audit knowledge, lighting technology, SnapCount's mobile and web audit tools, and real-world audit scenarios
• Timed, with the full exam completed in one sitting
• 80% score required to pass
• 6 months to complete from enrollment
• Didn't pass? You're eligible for one retake
