Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International announced that four of its training courses have officially been certified by North American Technician Excellence.

This milestone means that HVACR professionals can earn Continuing Education Hours toward their NATE certification renewal by completing select HARDI courses.

The newly NATE-certified HARDI courses include Intro to HVAC, Intro to Refrigeration, Fundamentals of HVAC and A2L Technology and Transition.

Each course has been reviewed and approved by NATE for CEH credit, with corresponding reference codes that participants can submit during the certification renewal process.

“NATE certification represents the highest standard of technical excellence in our industry,” said Talbot Gee, CEO of HARDI. “By earning this certification for our courses, we’re not only helping technicians stay credentialed — we’re empowering distributors to be stronger, more knowledgeable partners to their contractor customers. That’s what it means to advance the HVACR channel.”

“We know that when distributor teams understand the technical challenges their contractor customers face, they can offer better solutions and stronger support,” said Stella Keane, vice president of talent development at HARDI. “Certifying our courses through NATE helps ensure that our members are always learning, growing, and staying ahead of the curve.”

HARDI’s certified courses count toward the 16 CEHs required every two years to maintain NATE certification.
