***EPA Section 608 Certification Notes

Technicians who want to work with controlled refrigerants associated with HVAC, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems must have this certification, and may need different types of certification depending on the work they want to do

• Everyone must pass the CORE section for all EPA Section 608 certifications.
• TYPE I Certification – Required to work on hermetically sealed small appliances containing fewer than five pounds of refrigerant, such as small household refrigerators and portable air conditioners.
• TYPE II Certification – For work on appliances using medium- to high-pressure refrigerants like R-22. This includes commercial refrigeration, heat pumps, and some residential refrigeration units.
• Type III Certification – Required to work on appliances using low-pressure refrigerants such as R-11 or R-123, which are used primarily in chiller applications.
• Universal Certification – This certification is for technicians who want to be able to work on all types of refrigerant systems and appliances.

American Trainco does not offer the special licensing that many states require. However, passing an HVAC or EPA 608 certification test can help prepare you for such exams to begin satisfying state licensing requirements.
