It’s critical to keep your skills current and your knowledge base up-to-date when it comes to technical HVAC equipment. AERCO offers certification and re-certification modules to assist technicians in becoming and remaining a trained, current and active technician. Technicians who go through the AERCO training will have the authorization to perform AERCO product start-ups and have full access to the Tech Assist Hotline.
AERCO offers an online 2016 Online Recertification Module. It is the online version of a recently developed hands-on course called “Understanding the ProtoNode, Controls and Communications.”
But first, you should determine if you are eligible for the 2016 Recertification process. Here is a recap of what you need to do to maintain good standing as a certified AERCO technician:
- Prior to January 1, 2012: If the last time you took an AERCO Training Center hands-on class was before this date, you need to return to the AERCO Training Center for either an ATT or AMT class in order to be considered active, current and trained. You cannot take the 2016 Online Recertification and be considered active, current and trained.
- Between January 2012 and December 2014: If you attended an SST, ATT or AMT class between these dates and took the 2015 Online Certification, you are current, active and trained. To retain this status, you must complete the 2016 Online Recertification before December 1, 2016.
- January 2015-December 2015. If you attended an ATT or AMT class in 2015, you are current, active and trained. To retain this status, you need to complete the 2016 Online Recertification before December 1, 2016.
- 2016. If you attended an ATT or AMT class in 2016, you are current, active and trained. No additional action is required at this time.
