PREPARE YOURSELF FOR CERTIFICATION

      Passing a certification test in any of the HVAC areas requires three things:

• Technical knowledge
• Experience
• Skill in test-taking

These three are important for any certification test—such as NATE, ICE, RSES, and HVAC Excellence.

 

We can't help you gain experience, but we can show you how to increase your technical knowledge and your skill in test taking.

 

To give you technical knowledge, I put together the following list of books that can help you in six areas that are tested for certification exams.

 

• MATH: Math for the Technician, Leo Meyer, LAMA Books
• ELECTRICAL: Basics of Electricity, Leo Meyer, LAMA Books
• AIR CONDITIONING:
  Fundamentals of HVAC/R, David Skaves
  Heating and Cooling Essentials,
       Jerry Killinger and LaDonna Killinger
• HEAT PUMP: Heat Pump Technology, 
       Billy C Langley
• GAS HEATING: Forced Hot Air Furnaces: Troubleshooting and Repair, Roger Vizi
• AIR DISTRIBUTION, MEASUREMENT, AND BALANCING: Airflow in Ducts, Leo Meyer, LAMA Books

For skill in test-taking  you need the book HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide by Norm Christopherson. If you already have experience and technical knowledge, this is the best possible preparation you can have for passing a certification test. This book provides:

• The Introduction and Parts 1 and 2 provide excellent information on certification exams and on how to take tests—things you must know.
• Parts 3 through 9 are test items in the six subject areas listed above. They let you see if you have the required knowledge in that subject.
• Part 10 has sample tests to show what certification tests are like.
• Throughout the book Tech Tips in the margins provide valuable knowledge.

You can order a CERTIFICATION PACKAGE of the books on the technical subjects and the exam guide. It includes these eight books (and you can find details about each one on this web site):
