These in depth classes teach you how to use both the Code Books and the Manuals necessary to pass your examinations.

It is not the intent of this class to teach you the exact test content, but to teach you how to answer the type of questions that may appear on the examinations.

The success of our class relies upon the unique combination of the following:

• Computer Based Training
• Student and Instructor Interactive Seminar
• Detailed explanations and problem solving of various math (i.e. Load Calculation, Duct Design)
• Additional Home study questions

Don't try to cram all your study into 1 weekend. Most people need additional time at home to study and become proficient with the material in order to pass the examination.

The H3 Class 1 exam consist of four hours of code and one hour of business and law, totaling five hours.  These exams are computer based exams.

Test eligibility: To be eligible to take the H3 Class 1 examination, an applicant must have 2 years (4,000 hours) on-site full-time experience in the installation, maintenance, service, or repair of heating systems related to the category for which license is sought, whether or not license was required for the work performed.  1 year (2000 hours) on-site full-time experience has to be installation under the supervision of a licensed contractor.  The 2nd year (2000 hours) may be installation, maintenance, service or academic or technical training (45 quarter hours or 30 semester hours)  directly related to the field of endeavor for which the examination is requested.

Scope of work allowed with a H3 Class 1 License: H3 Class 1 license is for buildings requiring 15 tons and below of heating and cooling (except boilers which require an H1 license).  This license includes all single-family residences (other than boilers) regardless of tonnage. This also includes commercial work with units up to and including 15 tons on buildings that do not exceed 15 tons.  The State of North Carolina defines it as the following:

87-21. (a) Definitions. – For the purpose of this Article: (4). The phrase "heating, group number three" shall be deemed and held to be a direct heating or cooling system of a building that raises or lowers the temperature of the space within the building for the purpose of comfort in which electric heating elements or products of combustion exchange heat either directly with the building supply air or indirectly through a heat exchanger using an air distribution system of ducts and having a mechanical refrigeration capacity of 15 tons or less. A heating system requiring air distribution ducts and supplied by ground water or utilizing a coil supplied by water from a domestic hot water heater not exceeding 150 degrees Fahrenheit requires either plumbing or heating group number one license to extend piping from valved connections in the domestic hot water system to the heating coil and requires either heating group number one or heating group number three license for installation of coil, duct work, controls, drains and related appurtenances.

Class I is allowed to perform work on all structures that do not exceed 15 tons.
