IHACI: Non-Res ATE Acceptance Testing Employer Training Part 1 (Webcast)
THIS IS A LIVE WEBCAST ONLINE COURSE
Course Description: (2022 Code Cycle)
According to the California Energy Commission (CEC), acceptance testing is the process by which a certified field technician verifies the installation and operation of newly installed equipment or construction elements of a nonresidential building.
There are two tracks of certification. The first is for employers to become an ATE. The employer will not be required to demonstrate hands-on skills like an ATT, but rather must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the employer’s rules, responsibilities, and the code. The second track is for an individual to become an ATT. This training Module series is an online instruction course to prepare candidates for an online RSES “non-proctored” exam. Before OR after this exam has been passed, a hands-on training and performance evaluation will be done by Brownson Technical School or North American Training Center in accordance with instructions developed by the California Energy Commission for each test, to which RSES adheres.
This two-part webinar series is specifically designed to help experienced HVAC professionals prepare for successfully completing the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society’s Mechanical Acceptance Testing Employer Qualification Exam. For the convenience of working professionals, these classes are held on weekday evenings and will be followed by an opportunity to complete the “non-proctored” exam online through the ESCO Group. There will be a fee for the ESCO/RSES exam; however, there is no charge for this preparation series training.
This training opportunity is offered as part of the Institute of Heating and Air Conditioning Industry’s (IHACI) commitment to provide exceptional service and is designed for experienced HVAC professionals, and NOT a beginning, or intermediate Module series.
Part 1 – Mechanical Acceptance Testing Employer Qualification Training
- Introduction and overview of the entire ATE and ATT mechanical acceptance testing process
- Introduction of the current mechanical testing forms
- Comprehensive instruction of the employee’s rules, regulations, and codes
- Introduction of the material subject matter that will be on the exam
Learning Outcomes/Objectives:
- To prepare HVAC professionals to successfully complete and pass the RSES Mechanical Acceptance Testing Employer Qualification Exam.
Target Audience:
- HVACR Contractors / Employers
- HVACR Technicians / Installers
Learning Units: This Webinar series is NOT eligible for NATE CEHs because it contains specific California Title 24 regulations. For additional information contact IHACI at (818) 551-1555.
