Pick your tier, create your account, and start the curriculum today. This is a real credential — roughly 25–30 hours of self-paced coursework, an AI instructor on every lesson, a proctored 100-question final, a practical capstone, and a verifiable badge the brands you service recognize.
Pricing is live from our catalog. Pilot seats are limited — public enrollment opens at full retail once the pilot closes.
A real certification built by the people doing the work — not a paper mill.
Plunge anatomy, cold-water chemistry, chiller diagnostics, brand-specific service, commercial compliance, SOPs, and business operations. ~30 hours, self-paced.
Stuck on a concept? The Cold Standard AI instructor is grounded in the lesson you're reading and answers in plain field language — 24/7.
A serious, server-graded final with a real pass bar. The credential has to mean something to manufacturers — and to you.
Every certificate gets a public verification URL and QR code. Customers and manufacturers can confirm your status in one click.
Most "certifications" in this space are a video and a checkbox. Ours isn't. You'll put in real hours, you can fail the exam, and you have to prove you've done the work with your own hands. That difficulty is the value — it's why the badge means something to the manufacturers and customers who see it.
Eight modules, each gated at 80%. A module unlocks the next only when you pass its quiz. No skipping ahead, no skimming.
100 questions, 120 minutes, drawn fresh from a 250+ bank, server-graded at an 80% bar. Three attempts, with a 7-day cooldown between each.
Document your own work — a real diagnostic, a compliance log, worked dosing math — reviewed against a rubric and signed off by a human.
We publish the whole standard up front — the exam blueprint, the passing bar, the attempt and retake policy, and the code of ethics. Read it before you pay.
