Mercedes, you need an avatar!

Geez, Frank. Now you've done it. She just sold her Mercedes and now she's going to want a new one.

She called and said "where did Frank find that avatar?"

Good morning, Bret and everyone!

I'm on a sick day today. Got chills yesterday and a fever. 10 1/2 hours worked.

Maybe I'll catch up on paperwork.

Take a down day Art.
That car is a MB SLS that will replace the SLR....it's 0-100 kmh in 3.7 seconds that 0-62mph for you metrically challenged. I got to sit in one over a year ago in Mojave....they are a daily driver that run the largest HP naturally aspirated engine in the world....
They also have a 5 point traction control system that allows you to step out just a little or a lot!!!
It's $200,000 and then add your toys...

Certificate Member (CM)Certificate Membership is a classification of RSES membership, which originated in 1935. Exclusive to RSES members, this designation is earned after successfully passing a rigorous examination.

The CM examination tests 18 categories of knowledge required in the installation and servicing of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. It requires a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical refrigeration theory, as well as working knowledge of installation, service and troubleshooting procedures.

The Importance of the CM Designation
Achieving CM status can have a significant effect on your career. From direct financial incentives to long-term job security, attaining CM provides your employer with the criteria by which to evaluate and reward your personal commitment to continuing education. RSES Certificate Members are recognized industry-wide as possessing high levels of HVACR knowledge and many employers offer incentives for successful CM-test completion!

“Kerr Controls feels that it’s very important for our employees to stay current with industry developments. We believe RSES programs provide excellent avenues to accomplish that goal – to the extent that the company not only pays the employees’ annual membership dues, but covers costs for them to attend conferences where CM testing is held. If an employee passes the CM test, we have a $500 bonus for them!”

Sales Manager
Kerr Controls Limited
Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada
Advancement in the RSES Technical Institute
RSES members who earn CM classification also advance within the RSES Technical Institute to Level IV – Advanced Tech CM.

Exam Structure and Categories
There are 150 multiple-choice questions on the examination. A grade of 70% is required to pass.

To document the difficulty of the CM examination, RSES International Headquarters keeps accurate records of the examinations given and the results of each. Current pass rates are roughly 30%.

View the breakdown of exam categories for the CM exam.

Who Can Take the CM Exam?
Any RSES member who is in good standing and is an Active member may take the exam. RSES Canada requires two years of Active membership for their members before taking the exam.

What is the Cost to Take a CM Exam?
Every RSES member has the opportunity to take the exam for a $25.00 fee.

What Does RSES Do to Promote My Achievement?
All successful CM candidates receive two personalized wall certificates; one indicating their new status in the organization as a Certificate Member and the other an RSES Technical Institute Level 4 certificate suitable for framing along with a patch promoting their new status.

In addition, all future correspondence includes the CM designation with the member’s name – and the member is encouraged to do the same. With the member’s permission, his or her employer is notified of successful passing. Further, the names of successful candidates are included in each month’s RSES Journal, as well as listed in press releases and broadcast e-mail sent to industry peers and publications.

Each year, the member with the highest score (Society-wide) on the CM exam receives the John Spence Award at the RSES Annual Conference. In addition, Certificate Members can purchase the exclusive RSES CM ring.

Where can I take the examination?

Art,

You really know your stuff. I don't think that you will have a big problem with the CM exam.

Study the engineering and design type stuff. Those are the questions that hung me up on that test.

I'm considering taking one of the specialist exams when the next testing comes around. Which one would you suggest Frankie?

[supertek65]

well? for you maybe commercial refrigeration?

I feel that the electrical would be best for Art because it has a lot of electronics/ triac, transistor, resistor, PNP/NPN , dielectric stuff blah blah blah!!!!!!!!

for me, I am going to take the dynamic compressor exam!!!!!!!!!!!!!
