Learning is its own reward, as the saying goes. But what’s even more rewarding for HVAC techs and their employers? Learning accompanied by North American Technician Excellence (NATE) credits.
NATE certification means something because it involves a commitment and reflects reliability and proficiency. According to NATE, around 34,000 technicians have reached that status, with over 5,300 contractors getting their own certifications. Then there’s recertification. NATE requires techs to put in 16 training hours every two years to stay in good standing.
