We certify Operators and Technicians. RETA-certified operators must meet exacting standards for industrial refrigeration training and knowledge. We offer credentials and training opportunities for refrigeration industry operators and other professionals. As the Industrial Refrigeration Industry continues to expand, there is increasing demand for certified Operators and Technicians. The labor market is extremely competitive for quality people, so investing in Operators and Technicians is vital.

ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) accredits RETA certification exams. This ensures that the highest industry standards are set and met continuously every year. Our ANAB accreditation means we are highly regarded and recognized by regulatory agencies such as EPA and OSHA in the establishment and maintenance of the highest industrial and safety benchmarks.
This year’s exposition is completely sold out! There will be a wide variety of suppliers and vendors who will be discussing the advantages of their equipment and technologies. Attendees who interact with our exhibitors will have a competitive edge with the information they gain by just walking around the exposition area.
