  1. Be over the age of 18
  2. Submit the Certified Technician Application Form and pay the corresponding fee

More information regarding the exam can be found on the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Examination Information page
  4. Await for the test result that will be handed at the test center by the PSI© proctor once the test is completed. This is for the applicant's personal records only, as the test provider will convey the results to the TDLR electronically
