Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires all persons who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of appliances containing regulated refrigerants, be certified in proper refrigerant handling techniques as required by the National Recycling and Emission Reduction Program.
The EPA 608 Certification Exam is made up of four sections: Core, and sections I, II, and III. When one passes all 4 parts, one achieves a Universal Certification. The purpose of our 16-hour course is to ensure that all our students have their Universal Certification before they graduate from our Refrigeration and Air Conditioning 450-Hour course.
This certification is an entry level certification that allows an individual to be hired in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Field, to purchase refrigerant, to purchase equipment charged with Refrigerant, and to purchase tools in all 50 states. No one should be hired to work in the field without this entry level license.
At the Refrigeration Institute, we are committed to helping all of our graduates, providing them with Lifetime Career Placement Assistance. We are highly successful in placing our graduates, which reflects the excellent quality of our graduates and the high-quality education and hands-on training they receive at The Refrigeration Institute.
