ESCO Institute Section 608 Certification Exam Preparatory Manual (EPA Certification) 5th Edition

I’ve bought this for a friend who needed a push to get his license and my license friend said this is a great book so I did good and yes it helped him a great deal to get his license

NOT everything you need to know. While I did pass the test for all three sections and core (i.e. Universal), I would say this book is really only 85% what you need. It is absolutely worth buying, but they need to focus more on the vacuum levels that need to be achieved. The actual dates were not tested such that you were quizzed what date any particular restriction went into effect. At least not on my test... Though the test did have some dates. I would have given this four (4) stars being it is worth 85%, but it claims to EVERYTHING (i.e. claims 100%) Hence, I reduced 1 star because this is incomplete, and the other star for misrepresentation.

I passed the EPA certification using this book, quizlet flash cards (which you can make for free online) and the ESCO practice exams on their website. I can say that this book helped me but there were some questions on the actual exam that the book did not cover. I don't think it's fair but I still passed. You don't have much choice because they have the actual exam. I only paid $25 for the test because I'm a student at a community college, I was told the test runs for $500 or something and that's just nuts to me.

This is the booklet that our instructor required us to have for our HVAC class at Ozarks Technical College, in Springfield, Mo. It is well written, has a lot of information to cover for taking your Core, Levels 1, 2 & 3 exams. We made 296 flashcards from the questions/answers, studied these for 2 months, then took our in class paper test. I passed with a 96 (missing one (1) out of each category. So, now I am a certified, universally licensed HVAC tech. This book helped me a lot, without a lot of extraneous fluff that fills out a lot of textbooks. I highly recommend this book. ENJOY!!!!!!!

Informative without frills, BUT for a newbie who is not going to school for HVAC or refrigeration training there are several things missing. If you don't know what classifications the various refrigerants this book will not tell you. The description of the refrigerant cycle is accurate but not detailed enough to get a raw novice through the test without further study. If you are taking classes this book is what you want - if R22, HCFC or any of the other refrigerant names or classifications is new to you, look for something with a little fuller explanation.

This seems to be everything you need to know to pass the certification. I took a sample test on ESCO's website and did alright with just a brief scan of the material. I cannot comment on the study guide's effectiveness for the an actual exam, for the job for which I applied turned out not requiring the certification. Therefore, I never took the actual test.

I used to have a copy of this at our counter at the Supply house I worked for. Very much just the facts and dry about them. Should be a good starting point for an apprentice to start to ask questions for HVAC/R.

This is pretty much all you need to pass the EPA Exam. I recently took the exam and scored in the high 80's for all 4 sections. Core, Types 1-3, and received my Universal certification. If you get this and STUDY, you'll definitely pass the exam.

This book is the book with all the answers for the EPA test. certification is required\ by law in the us . in Europe fgas is requied

ottima guida per ottenere la certificazione EPA, che è necessaria negli Stati Uniti per maneggiare i gasi CFC ed HCFC.
