SUMMARY:PPATEC EPA 608 Certification Prep & Test
DESCRIPTION:Taking the EPA Section 608 certification is a crucial step for anyone who wants to work in the HVAC field. Successfully passing this test gives you a lifelong license. It’s also good across the country – so if you decide to move to another state\, you’re still covered. The program will feature a morning preparation along with an afternoon test. Attendee has the opportunity to attended a future EPA 608 Test if they do not initially pass during the first two test attempts. Scheduling will be contingent on PPATEC instructor and class availability. \nIt is expected that attendees read the manual before attending the class to increase the likelihood of passing the test. The manual will be sent as a PDF two weeks before the start of the class. \nLunch is provided for attendees at no additional cost. \nThe Instructor: \nMike Elmer has been in the HVAC and plumbing industry since 2002 and has worked for leading contractors in the South Central PA region. His background includes service HVAC\, plumbing\, and electric. Mike currently works in the field as a lead troubleshooting service technician. \nClick Here to Register!

SUMMARY:PPATEC A2L Refrigerant Training & Certification
DESCRIPTION:The HVACR industry is transitioning away from equipment that uses R-410A in favor of new equipment with Low GWP Refrigerants such as R-32 and R-454B. Our trainers will teach you to properly handle\, store and transport Low GWP Refrigerants. Test results are mailed to ESCO Institute and graded solely by ESCO. \nDid you know? \n·These are classified as A2L refrigerants\, or mildly flammable by ASHRAE? \n·That most systems will have refrigerant detection systems on board that can shut a system down in the event of a leak? \n·How you store and transport refrigerant cylinders will change? \nLunch is provided for attendees at no additional cost. \nThe Instructor: \nMike Elmer has been in the HVAC and plumbing industry since 2002 and has worked for leading contractors in the South Central PA region. His background includes service HVAC\, plumbing\, and electric. Mike currently works in the field as a lead troubleshooting service technician. \nClick Here to Register!
