Robinair is partnering with the Mobile Air Conditioning Society (MACS) Worldwide to provide a free Section 609 test prep webinar for training and certification for up to 125 technicians on Tuesday, May 9 at 4 p.m. EDT.
The webinar will be broadcast on a private YouTube channel. Registrants will receive the link to the webinar in advance of the webinar and a link for the test after the webinar.
The webinar will take approximately 90 minutes and at the end technicians can become Section 609 certified to work on vehicles using R-12, R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant when they take the online test provided and successfully pass the test.
NO TESTS WILL BE MAILED. THIS WILL BE AN ONLINE TEST ONLY. IF YOU PREFER A HARD COPY TEST THE COST IS $20.
Interested technicians can register by calling 215-631-7020 x 0 or by registering online at
www.macsw.org and visit the events tab.
When technicians register for the webinar, they will receive a link to the webinar in advance of the event free of charge and courtesy of Robinair.
Technicians should take the online test immediately after viewing the webinar on May 9. If they pass the test, Section 609 credentials will be sent to them. Should a technician fail the test, one online re-test will be issued.
R-1234yf refrigerant is gaining popularity among vehicle manufacturers because it reduces the environmental impact of A/C systems in vehicles, helping manufacturers meet stringent vehicle emissions standards. Automakers can receive emissions credits for using environmentally friendly refrigerants, meaning aftermarket technicians will begin to see an increase in vehicles using R-1234yf.
The number of vehicles using
R-1234yf is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years as the refrigerant replaces the current industry-standard R134a.
