The EPA has set certification guidelines for HVAC Technicians that require technicians to be knowledgable and to have the proper skills to safely and efficiently handle Class 1 and Class 2 Substances. The is review class will cover all aspects of these rules and regulations, which will enable the technician to easily pass the EPA Section 608 Core and Type II Tests for certification.
The review class is 4-5 hours long and technicians are allowed 2 hours to take the test.

Tuition for each class includes the review class, study guide, and the proctored certification test.
According to a survey by Decision Analyst, 90% of consumers prefer a certified HVAC technician over a non-certified technician to service their heating and cooling systems. It's no surprise that consumers want the job done right the first time. Call-backs are not the only expensive to contractors but also inconvenient to the homeowner, and can undermine the relationships with your customers you have worked so hard to establish. There is no need to let an inexperienced, non-certified technician put your business at risk.
NATE Certification is acquired by passing a series of knowledge based tests, and we now offer a complete review of the Core and Heat Pump tests.
This is a full day of training that covers the Core section in the morning and the Heat Pump sectionthat same afternoon. The certification tests are offered on the second day, hopefully while the information is still fresh on the minds of the technician.

Tuition for each class includes study materials. Other specialty test can be administered at the request of the technician.

Private Classes are a great option foir busy dealers who still want to keep their staff up to date with the new product training, refresher courses, and certification. These sessions can be catered to the specific needs of your company and held at a date and time that is convenient for you, and with smaller groups of students that already know each other, everyone benefits from increased class participation.
The subject matter of each class is up to you. Examples include new product information and updates, airflow, Principals of Air Conditioning & Heating Pumps, EPA review and testing, and NATE review and testing.
Private classes can be held at your offices or at another location of your choosing. These is no required minimum number of students, and Epting Distributors will supply all needed materials. You bring the students and provide the location; we do the rest.
There is no charge for most private classes. EPA and NATE classes are charged at the normal rate; however, there is no extra charge for private sessions of these classes. (EPA = $125 per person,
NATE = $450 per person.)
To request private dealer training, speak to your TM or directly to one of our TSA's.
