Getting Started As a NATE Testing Organization

Congratulations on choosing to become a member of the NATE family of HVACR Testing Organizations. As you review the Testing Organization and proctor sections of our Web site, you will find helpful information, as well as, links to documents and forms that you will need to get started to maintain TO and Proctor status. As NATE's policies do occasionally change, NATE suggests that you come back and review the Web site monthly to stay current.

Becoming a NATE Testing Organization

To begin the process of becoming a NATE Testing Organization, please review the NATE Testing Organization Policies and then download and complete the Testing Organization application.

In addition to reviewing the Testing Organization Policies, please read the information about NATE proctors, NATE Testing Organizations must have at least one proctor on staff and registered with your organization as a NATE approved proctor, who will conduct the tests.

You may want to consider, for your convenience, applying as both a Testing Organization and proctor at the same time.

Completing the Testing Organization Application

When you download the Testing Organization application, you will see a detailed list of instructions for completing and submitting the form.  Once you have submitted the application, NATE will review it and if approved you will be notified by email and receive your four-digit Testing Organization number. 

Once you also have a proctor approved you are ready to order exams and schedule tests.

Note: Each time you log into the NATE system to schedule a test, you will be required to use your TO number along with the six-digit password you created on your TO application.
