ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has announced that North American Technician Excellence (NATE) has approved the new online Residential HVAC Design Certificate program for continuing education units (CEUs).

HVACR professionals who sign up for and successfully complete the online certificate program will receive 20 CEUs towards their NATE recertification. In order for participants to receive the credits, they must include their NATE ID on the registration form. Once they have passed the final exam, ACCA will submit the information to NATE to apply the credits.

“ACCA and NATE have worked together for many years to ensure that contractors have the training they need to provide their customers with the best quality work and customer service,” said Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA president and CEO. “Approving this course for CEUs opens up another, convenient avenue for contractors and technicians to meet the NATE recertification requirements. ACCA strongly supports NATE’s efforts to raise the bar on contractors’ professionalism and we will continue to work with them to make more training and resources available.”
