Course Information

This course will help you prepare for the NATE Core Certification Exam, which most HVAC Technicians do not pass on their first attempt. We will go through the study guides together chapter by chapter to ensure you have a thorough understanding of each. Live eLearning events and timed practice tests are also included. I recommend you take the practice tests until you can achieve a score of 80%. There is no guarantee that you will pass the NATE Certification exam after completing this course.
