The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to set standards for recovery of refrigerants. Enforcement of the Clean Air Act is carried out by the EPA.
Section 608 Certificationis required by the Clean Air Act for anyone who works on equipment that contains Refrigerant or to buy Refrigerant. Employers must keep a copy of each applicable employee's Certification on file.
In addition,anyone working on air conditioning of cars or trucks or who wishes to purchase small containers of Refrigerant sold in auto parts stores MUST have a Section 609 Automotive Certification, even if they have a Universal License!
These Federal Certifications are IN ADDITION to any Local or State requirements. Each individual must be licensed according to the work performed. It is not legal to work "Under Supervision" of a licensed person.

ONE DAY CLASS FORMAT
Classes are held regularly in various convenient metropolitan locations. They are completed in one day including testing.
Our classes are designed to promote SUCCESS even for those who have not been in a classroom for years or who do not learn well through written material. Interesting and detailed instruction includes overhead pictures and diagrams, charts, note taking and time for questions.
Our process is simple: Our classes are held with an instructor who is clear and specific and is able to answer your questions, both general and technical. You take the Certification Exam the same day!
Our classes are kept at a comfortable size to enhance your learning and allow personal attention where necessary. -
Your license with us includes future maintenance of your records*, should you pass additional Sections or need replacement of your documents. The EPA does not maintain a central database of your records. Therefore it is important to test with an agency that will be there in the future should you lose your license or, as is happening more frequently these days, need to replace it due simply to wear and tear. We have the infrastructure behind us to preserve your records over time.*
There are no educational requirements for attending our classes or being licensed. If you have any questions about our program or wish to enroll directly, please call us.
