PPATEC offers multiple opportunities throughout the year for technicians to obtain their EPA 608 Certification. This is a required certification for individuals who work on air conditioning systems. Our one day class offers a morning prep session and then an afternoon proctored test for all four types of the certification (Universal, Type I, Type II, and Type III).

EPA Requirements for HVAC Technicians 

EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F) under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act require that technicians who maintain, service, repair, or dispose of equipment that could release refrigerants into the atmosphere must be certified.

Technicians are required to pass an EPA-approved test to earn Section 608 Technician Certification. The tests are specific to the type of equipment the technician seeks to work on. Tests must be administered by an EPA-approved certifying organization. Section 608 Technician Certification credentials do not expire. Core tests taken as an open book exam cannot be used to get your Universal Certification. The core test must be taken as a proctored exam in order to attain Universal Certification.

It 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.
