Title
HVAC/R
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) technicians in all states to pass the EPA 608 national exam for handling refrigerant, which M State students will have when they graduate. Some states do not regulate licensing, but there may be requirements at the local level. If a state does not regulate licensure, it has been determined M State’s HVAC/R program meets the state requirements.
