NATE-certified technicians who complete 60 hours of Rheem technical training within five years, including Rheem Top Technician Training and Regional Training Center Programs, can be re-certified without having to take a NATE written test.

"This approval enables Rheem contractors and Rheem distributors to train and take specific NATE tests through Rheem," said Keith Davenport, marketing and communications supervisor for Rheem. Re-certification is valid for five years.
