Certified Building Service Executive (CBSE) Designation With BSCAI's Certified Building Service Executive (CBSE) designation you will become part of an elite group of building service professionals — worldwide — and the rewards to your company will be plentiful. BSCAI's CBSE designation is the most prestigious symbol of excellence in the commercial cleaning industry. View the CBSE Brochure Four simple steps towards receiving your CBSE designation: Step 1: Apply Online Submit your online CBSE application with the $475 certification fee. Your application includes access to Volumes 1-7 and the Guide to Green Cleaning in e-book format. You have 365 days from the date you apply to access the study materials and the online examination. If you do not complete the exam within the time limit, it will count as an automatic fail. Step 2: Order Hard Copies (Optional) To order hard copies of Volumes 1-7 and the Guide to Green Cleaning, visit the BSCAI Marketplace. Step 3: Complete the Exam Log on when you are ready to take the CBSE examination online. The exam is broken into four sections (see FAQs below), which can be taken in any order. Once you begin one of the four sections of your exam, you will have 14 days to complete the full exam. Individual sections are still timed, similarly to paper examinations. Examinees do not need to have a proctor present. Results are generated automatically after each section is completed and an e-mail confirmation is sent with total results when the exam is completed. The exams are completely true/false and multiple choice. Step 4: Review Results and Retake if Needed Online testing results will be received instantly. Candidates must achieve a minimum passing score of 70% on each of the four sections on the exam. A candidate can retake any section that they do not pass again within one year. You can apply to retake the exam by logging into your profile and adding the reexamination to your cart. Re-examination is a $100 fee to BSCAI headquarters.
