FORMERLY OPERATOR 3 This operator course is designed to equip the attendee to understand, analyze, and troubleshoot the holistic operation of an industrial refrigeration system. RETA's Industrial Refrigeration 2 book is provided to each student to keep for their personal use. The course provides 4-1/2 days of industrial refrigeration training that covers topics that may be present on RETA's CIRO exam. Students will be administered an exam at the completion of the course and will be awarded a certificate upon passing. If desired, students may sit for the RETA CIRO examination administered at our testing facility after the course is complete; students must pay an additional fee to RETA to sit for this exam. To attend the course, we require that you have completed Operator I or at least have RETA’s CARO certification. We also recommend that you have completed the Basic Electricity & Safety Course prior for first time CIRO exam takers. PDH: 36

This course should be considered a minimum requirement for entry-level industrial refrigeration operators or personnel involved in PSM/RMP.  In this 3-day class, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration including compressor, condenser, pump, and evaporator operation and maintenance.  Additionally, students will be introduced to federal OSHA & EPA's PSM/RMP requirements.  This course includes hands-on training in the IRTC’s fully functional and equipped industrial ammonia system.  This environment allows students to learn and engage in instructional material in a variety of ways. Students are administered quizzes throughout the course and will be awarded a certificate after receiving an overall passing grade across all quizzes. PDH: 24

This 5 day course is a combination of our "Ammonia Refrigeration" class and our "HAZWOPER Hazardous Material Technician Training" 24-hour class.  This course should be considered a minimum requirement for entry-level industrial refrigeration operators, decision-makers involved or personnel involved in PSM/RMP, and individuals who respond to ammonia releases or potential ammonia releases.  As part of the "Ammonia Refrigeration" training, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration including compressor, condenser, pump, and evaporator operation and maintenance.  Additionally, students will be trained in the Process Safety Management and Risk Management Programs (PSM/RMP). Students are administered quizzes throughout the course and will be awarded a certificate after receiving an overall passing grade across all quizzes.  In the "HAZWOPER Hazardous Material Technician Training" portion, students will become familiar with the techniques and procedures to contain an ammonia leak and students will participate in an emergency response drill utilizing full personal protective equipment with a fully operational ammonia plant.  OSHA defines hazardous materials technicians as individuals who respond to releases or potential releases for the purpose of stopping the release.  They assume a more aggressive role than a first responder at the operations level in that they will approach the point of release in order to plug, patch or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous substance.  This course includes hands-on training in the IRTC full scale ammonia refrigeration system which is a fully functional ammonia plant on campus.  This environment allows students to test their newly learned skills in a supervised setting.  PDH: 24 (for Ammonia Refrigeration curriculum)

OSHA defines hazardous materials technicians as individuals who respond to hazardous chemical releases or potential releases for the purpose of stopping the release.  In this 24-hour course, students will receive classroom and hands-on training in an operating ammonia plant as well as training on OSHA’s HAZWOPER standard 1910.120(q). Students will become familiar with the techniques and procedures to respond to and if necessary contain an ammonia release. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in a live emergency response drill.

OSHA mandates that HAZWOPER Technician employees receive periodic refresher training. This 8-hour refresher course is for students who have completed the 24-hour Hazardous Material Technician Training and who would like classroom instruction and hands-on drills to fulfill their refresher training requirement.

This is a second level class that completes RETA's Industrial Refrigeration 1 book, which will be provided in class. The course provides 4-1/2 days of industrial refrigeration training that covers topics that may be present on RETA's CARO exam. Students will be administered an exam at the completion of course and will be awarded a certificate upon passing. If desired, students may sit for the RETA CARO examination administered at our testing facility after the course is complete; students must pay an additional fee to RETA to sit for this exam. To attend the course, we recommend that you have completed the Ammonia Refrigeration course. PDH: 36

FORMERLY PART OF OPERATOR 2 This course provides 3-1/2 days of industrial refrigeration training building upon the material from the Ammonia Refrigeration and Industrial Refrigeration Operator 1 classes. This course covers RETA’s Industrial Refrigeration IV (Plant Operation & Safety) and Basic Electricity II (Ladder Diagrams) textbooks in particular detail. Content from Basic Electricity I is also reviewed. As a result, this class is particularly geared towards students wishing to take RETA’s CIRO exam in the future, as all course material is included in that exam. Students will be graded based on a course exam and will be awarded a certificate upon passing. To attend the course, we require that you have completed the Ammonia Refrigeration Course or any class covering RETA’s Industrial Refrigeration 1 book; we recommend that you have completed our Operator 1 course or have RETA’s CARO certification. PDH: 24

This 5-day course combines the content of the PSM/RMP & SOP-MI courses to provide students comprehensive training on the entirety of OSHA & EPA's PSM/RMP requirements, including designated Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP) as covered under IIAR Standards and other requirements. This course is aimed towards personnel seeking a cohesive understanding of everything involved in keeping their facilities compliant with all applicable regulations. PDH: 36

This course explores federal requirements regarding OSHA's Process Safety Management and EPA's Risk Management Plan. The 3-day course will go through each PSM/RMP element in detail, involving students in developing and/or utilizing written programs for each element. Students will also learn next steps for implementing a PSM/RMP program at their facility or for taking their existing program to the next level. PDH: 24

This course details best practices for Mechanical Integrity Inspections and Standard Operating Procedures based off of PSM/RMP requirements and IIAR standards. Over 3 days, students will review their facility's procedures in a group environment, discuss OSHA and EPA regulations, and get hands-on experience with IIAR inspections of IRTC's own onsite Ammonia/CO2 refrigeration system. PDH: 20

FORMERLY PART OF OPERATOR 2 This introductory hands-on course provides 3-1/2 days of industrial refrigeration training primarily consisting of practical maintenance tasks in the lab and involves more lab time than any other IRTC course. Tasks in the lab could include starting/stopping equipment, cleaning strainers, draining oil, pumping out equipment, or replacing/rebuilding valves, among others. Students will be graded based on their performance in the lab as well as on tests and assessments and will be awarded a certificate upon passing. To attend the course, we require that you have completed the Ammonia Refrigeration Course or any class covering RETA’s Industrial Refrigeration 1 book; we recommend that you have completed our Operator 1 course or have RETA’s CARO certification. Multiple line breaks are performed during this course; ammonia respirators and proof of fit testing are required. Class sizes are restricted to ensure all students participate in practical tasks. All students must be fit tested and bring their respirator to class. PDH: 24
