North American Technician Excellence (NATE) is the leading certification program for technicians in the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration industry and is the only test supported by the entire industry.

 

NATE-certified technicians have fewer callbacks than technicians who aren't certified.  Their expenses are about 30% lower than non-certified technicians and their billing efficiency is also higher.  This all translates into more profit and financial stability for you.  Technicians can prove they are the best. NATE exams are multiple-choice, knowledge-based, and test what 80% of technicians have an 80% chance of encountering once yearly.

 

There are twelve NATE installation and service tests: a core and five specialty tests each.  Specialties include Air Distribution, Air Conditioning, Heat Pumps, Gas Heating and Oil Heating.  Candidates have four hours to complete a NATE test session.  To earn certification, a technician must pass both a core and a specialty test with a grade of 70% or higher on each. 

 

Consumers are starting to recognize NATE and ask their servicer if they are certified.  Give your customers that assurance that your technicians are knowledgeable and well-trained.
