With that, we can make sure that we are providing adequate study materials to technicians that are willing to go for it. I took the CHP-5 Electrical &amp; Controls exam first because that is where most technicians fall over. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I found it to be a reasonable exam for residential certification. It is survivable for someone that has extensive residential service experience plus some training or has recently completed at least a year long HVAC\/R technical program. You can be successful with that type of background.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I would not recommend wasting your money without doing some study prep on the electrical side of HVAC\/R. The online proctored exam is very convenient because you can take it at your convenience at home, in the office and on your day and time. I missed one question out of 30. I believe it was related to ECM motors. I\u2019ve been working and teaching this trade for 43 years. The only thing I did to prepare for the CHP-5 Electrical &amp; Controls exam is go through our four TCA (Technical Core Assessment<a href=\"https:\/\/main.hvacrstore.net\/product?catalog=Technical-Core-Assessment-TCA\">)<\/a> exams prior to taking the CHP-5 exam. Did it so I could relate what we are doing to prepare a technician for a Certification success. The TCA was helpful for me, got my head back in the electrical side of HVAC\/R. My takeaway is that we are doing a darn good job of teaching the technology and with that, technicians should be successful on Certification exams.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here is my input related to the Electrical &amp; Controls Domain knowledge areas that stood out for me during the exam.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/electrical-and-controls\/\"><strong>Electrical Science Fundamentals<\/strong><\/a> <br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 o Need to know how to use Ohm\u2019s Law.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Our 111 DC Electrical, and the stand-alone tutorial: Terminology and Units of Measurement will get you through this.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/electrical-and-controls\/\"><strong>Basic Electricity <\/strong><\/a><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 o Need to know the measurement units of electricity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Our 111, 112, and the stand-alone tutorials: Terminology and Units of Measurement, Series Circuits &amp; Parallel Circuits will prepare you well beyond the target of this domain of the CHP-5 Electrical &amp; Controls exam.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/electrical-and-controls\/\"><strong>Wiring Layouts<\/strong><\/a> <br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 o Need to know how to read residential equipment schematics o Need to know the different styles of schematics <br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 o Need to know schematic symbols<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It often seems that schematics are the great mystery of life, and they are until you get your head around them.

For those with no or limited experience this domain area could be a real challenge for you. There is much involved in electrical troubleshooting HVAC\/R systems. You need to know sequence of operation for various residential systems, how to use a meter, all types of single phase electric motors, etc. Our offerings cover all of this in detail and more, but I can\u2019t honestly recommend any specific course other than to study all the electrical courses and tutorials we offer.

If you are employed as a technician and doing that work regularly you should have the experience to deal with this domain. If not, I recommend a study across the board of our Electrical and Service categories. Stay tuned, I am scheduled to take the CHP-5 Fundamentals exam section Tuesday afternoon and will continue my reporting on the process and will report on each one as I take it. I will have all 5 completed by next week. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><br \/>Chris Compton, Founder, CEO, CMHE, CMS <\/span><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">HVACRedu.net<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2a79be2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2a79be2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87e33bc\" data-id=\"87e33bc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09aef63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"09aef63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>February 15, 2022:\u00a0 Notes on the Fundamentals CHP-5 Exam: <\/b><\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Well now I\u2019m two exams down with three more to go. The Electrical &amp; Controls exam was what I expected it to be. I have to say that the Fundamentals was more of the same. I wasn\u2019t as well prepared for it but passed it with a scores ranging from 100% to 83% across the 5 topic areas. If I did the math right, I missed four. I\u2019ve broken it down as before with some pointers as to where you head needs to be if you are going for it.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/hvac-fundamentals\/\"><strong>Safety<\/strong><\/a><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 o <\/span>If you have been through an OSHA 10 or 30 in the past few years you should be good to go. Mostly related to safety closely related to the normal HVACR workplace, service, or construction. The good news is our US students typically test high in Safety when they take our entrance exam, the TCA (Technical Core Assessment). Our campus is online, so we have technicians in our campus from all over the country. We do have HVACR safety courses, OSHA 10 &amp; 30 and our own 102 Safety.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/hvac-fundamentals\/\"><strong>Tools<\/strong><\/a> <br \/><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 o <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My tool exam section was more related to refrigeration cycle tools, you need to know them. I actually missed one of these. Don\u2019t have a clue of what it is. I would make sure you know your hand tools and how to use them and be aware of what is available to technicians today in the line of the more common digital instruments.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We have 109 Hand and Power Tools that covers this section of the CHP-5 Fundamentals.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/hvac-fundamentals\/\"><strong>Basic Construction<\/strong><\/a> <br \/><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 o <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My section was all related to HVAC installs and what normally happens on an install. I would say if you have installed some residential HVAC systems and were paying attention to how a building is put together you should survive this section.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Our 106 Building Systems is a quick course that covers this well.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/hvac-fundamentals\/\"><strong>Basic Science and Heat Transfer<\/strong><\/a> <br \/><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 o <\/span>Maybe these were so easy to me that I didn\u2019t twitch. The best thing to do for this section is review the basic physics if it\u2019s been awhile, and definitely if you have never had them. Our Fundamentals 101 is a good study for this and be expected to know some common HVAC formulas related to basic Psychrometrics. We have that covered with our 121 Air Systems and Properties course.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nateacademy.com\/hvac-fundamentals\/\"><strong>Codes and Regulations<\/strong><\/a> <br \/><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 o <\/span>I missed one of these. The focus was on building and electrical codes. It seems that the focus in on the more common and noteworthy codes related to the installation of Residential HVAC systems and the Electrical related to the same. If you have worked residential installs and paid attention this should be okay. If you haven\u2019t too bad. We don\u2019t have a course that focuses specifically on this general knowledge area. Our courses address code issues as it applies to the course topic. Example: 135 Heat Pumps. 133 Gas Furnace, 241 R-410A, etc.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Yes, some shameless plugs for our courses but whether you come see us or not, or if you are already enrolled in one of our programs somewhere, this is my honest assessment of what you will run into taking the CHP-5 Fundamentals exam. So far, after taking two of the series, I find the CHP-5 series as an acceptable measure of a technicians knowledge base and therefore be \u201cCertified\u201d. Three more to go, I\u2019ll keep you posted.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Chris Compton, Founder, CEO, CMHE, CMS<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\">HVACRedu.net<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c98856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0c98856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-17219\" alt=\"CHris Compton, CEO and Founder, HVACRedu.net\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-53x53.png 53w, https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-570x570.png 570w, https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-380x380.png 380w, https:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ChrisBioPic-285x285.png 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-592f3d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"592f3d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a518256 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a518256\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1da1fb0\" data-id=\"1da1fb0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7c6c2b elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f7c6c2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hvacredu.net\/staging\/news-blog\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to News Blog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7203579 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7203579\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-94d85db\" data-id=\"94d85db\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Chris Compton, CEO and Founder of HVACRedu.net February 14, 2022:&nbsp;&nbsp;Notes on the Electrical &amp; Controls CHP-5 Exam: I took the first online proctored CHP-5 exam on the evening of the 12th of February.
