Hope you make the right decision when you're encountered with the two questions you got wrong.

Indeed, congrats.

I've had a universal stationary cert for quite a few years, been thinking about picking up the automotive one as well.

I'm a little embarrassed to say I got mine for free courtesy of the Navy - back in the early 90's, when they started all the hoorah over refrigerants, everyone that was stationed on board a ship and had anything to do with the A/C or refrigeration plants had to attend the EPA course and get the certification. I scored high enough to get the universal cert.

Little did I know what a BIG difference already having that card could make in getting a job - when a potential employer learns you've already been certified for over 15 years (ie, experience), and realizes he doesn't have to spend the time and money getting you certified if you're hired, gives you quite a leg up on the competition.
