You or your team can earn continuing education credits by completing certain courses within the Interplay platform.
NATE Continuing Education Credits
Interplay Learning is one of only two training companies linked to the NATE website.
You can earn NATE Continuing Education Units (CEUs) by completing certain Interplay Learning HVAC courses. This helps you gain the 16 CEUs required to re-certify every two years.
HVAC/R technicians with two or more years of HVAC/R experience can earn installation or service certification in one or more of the 21 specialty areas offered by NATE. Certification requires passing both the core exam and an installation or service exam for a specialty. After certification, you need to earn 16 CEU hours every 2 years.
After you complete a course, a completion message will appear under “My Certificates” on the bottom right of your dashboard. Many courses, upon completion with the certificate, can be sent to NATE as proof of continuing education, and NATE will then issue CEUs to each individual.
If you haven’t taken the NATE certification exam yet, Interplay Learning offers a NATE Ready-to-Work Exam Prep course to prepare you for the Ready-to-Work Certificate, which is the first step towards complete NATE Certification.
