General Information and Instructions
You have registered for MACS certification in REFRIGERANT RECYCLING & SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR Mobile AIR CONDITIONING TECHNICIANS. Following are the steps* necessary for you to complete the prescribed training:
*The following instructions apply to those technicians taking the MACS training course by mail. Those par-
ticipating in a classroom program should follow the instructions of their trainer/proctor. Tests given in a
classroom setting must be closed-book tests. The required score for passing these closed-book tests is less
than that required for passing the open-book test.
1. Read the instruction manual that came with your recovery/recycling service equipment (and review the training
video, if provided). Then read this manual cover to cover. Re-read as necessary to gain full comprehension of the material presented.
2. Take the enclosed test. The test is an untimed, “open-book” test, so you may refer to the training manual as often as necessary to research answers to the questions posed. (Note, however, that you must correctly answer a minimum of 21 of
the 25 questions to earn certification.) You must complete the test by yourself, without assistance from anyone, and
submit it for scoring. (See 4 below.)
3. Fill out and sign the “Identification and Statement of Testing Conditions” block on the back of your test. Note: A reprint charge will be incurred if information provided is not legible.
4. Mail your test in the postage paid, addressed envelope provided to: MACS-EIF, P.O. Box 88, Lansdale, PA 19446.
5. MACS-EIF will advise MACS of your test results.
6. MACS will advise you of your score and, providing that you have attained a passing score, will issue a certificate and a
wallet-sized I.D. card, indicating that you have successfully completed this MACS certification training program.
7. Persons not attaining a passing score on the first test will receive one retest at no additional charge. If the test was originally ordered via phone, fax or mail, the second test will be sent via U.S. mail. If the original test was ordered online, the
second test will also be online. If a passing score is not attained on the second test, the process begins again with a new
test purchase.
Enclosed:
Test with identification material and declaration to be mailed to scoring facility.
Postage paid return envelope (MACS-EIF).
Important - Please note: Tests must be returned for scoring within 90 days of the date they are issued. MACS assumes no
responsibility for tests submitted for scoring after this 90-day period. MACS will charge an additional fee for re-issuing tests
which are lost, misplaced or destroyed.
Note: The MACS Worldwide office is open from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
