Field Exam Prep - To prepare for your Master Installer Field Exam, review the Field Exam Form. The form gives you each task you will be required to demonstrate.

Time Length for a Field Exam - The time length for the field examination will be 4 hours maximum in length. However, if extenuating circumstances exist that require extra time for the evaluation, this would be at the discretion of the examiner.

Passing Grade - Passing grade for Field Examination is 75%. The Field Examination is available in English language; however, the Field Exam Form which tells each item being evaluated is available in Spanish for candidates who would like to review (please contact certdirector@sprayfoam.org for a copy).

Field Exam Fees
The Field Exam fees include a paid Field Examiner and Exam processing fees. When Field Exams are done in a sponsored mock up setting, or at a special event such as the SPFA Annual Convention, scholarships may be available to offset the cost of a Field Exam. Contact certdirector@sprayfoam.org for upcoming Field Exam opportunities.

Location for a Field Exam
The Field Exam may take place on a real live jobsite or in a mock-up setting.

  • Mock-Up Setting
    When Field Examinations are conducted with the use of mock-ups, the candidate shall follow the procedures set out by the manufacturer for the installation of spray polyurethane foam. The Field Exam shall be conducted as if the evaluation was occurring at a construction site. See the appropriate Insulation Certification Handbook or Roofing Certification Handbook for complete details.
  • On Job-Site
    When Field Exams are conducted on the jobsite, make sure that you can demonstrate all the items on the Field Exam Form. See the appropriate Insulation Certification Handbook or Roofing Certification Handbook for complete details.
