Course Description: With a focus on maintenance, operation, and safety, this training will <br />
equip attendees with the knowledge and information necessary to take the RETA exam <br />
while reducing energy usage and operating costs, and improve the reliability of refrigeration <br />
systems. This course will help guide attendees to efficiently manage and minimize industrial <br />
refrigeration systems through awareness of applied best practices and strategies for <br />
refrigeration operations. Course work will review three RETA course books: <strong>Industrial</strong> <br />
<strong>Refrigeration</strong> I, <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Refrigeration</strong> II, and Basics Electricity II. (Note-‐Students are <br />
expected to obtain the manuals on their own prior to the course). RETA is a nationally <br />
recognized standard for industrial plant refrigeration operators. Attendees will have to <br />
schedule and take the online CARO or CIRO exams following the training on their own time <br />
at their own expense. <br />
Registration Fee: $299* <br />
*Fee includes Expo admittance, handouts, light breakfast, some beverages. Register online <br />
through the NWFPA Expo site or call 503.327.2200. Course is limited to 35. <br />
Manuals are not included at this price. Recommended RETA books are IR1, IR2, and Basic <br />
Elect 2 and may be purchased from RETA using the Publications Order Form. <br />
Optional Exam <br />
Attendees who plan on obtaining RETA certification will work with Scott Henderson <br />
(scott@reta.com) to schedule the exam and complete all paperwork and payments prior to <br />
the exam. Download the Certification Handbook and the Membership Application for <br />
more information or see the RETA website at reta.com. <br />
