| | Introduction | A Master Mechanical certification candidate is a qualified individual who can demonstrate mastery of the trade and will be skilled and experienced in management, planning, blueprint reading, and the practical installation, repair, and service of HVAC systems.
Installation repair and service of HVAC systems includes the design, construction, installation, alteration, repair, service and maintenance of all boilers, HVAC air handling systems, ductwork systems, refrigeration piping systems, process piping heating and cooling systems in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
A qualified Master Mechanic may perform these tasks alone, or through the supervision of other individuals.
Important additional candidate information: Although UMC Master and Journeyperson Mechanical examinations are primarily designed to provide licensing agencies with information regarding qualified contractors and professionals in this trade, some test candidates may use these examinations to serve as an independent appraisal of their competency in the construction field.
These examinations are based primarily on the information contained in the Uniform Mechanical Code.
A passing grade on one of these certification examinations does not guarantee that a licensing agency will award a license to the certification holder. If your purpose in getting this certification is to secure a license then start your testing process by determining what your local agency requires of you. Consult with your local or state licensing agency prior to scheduling your test to determine which examination you should take and what, if any, prequalification criteria your must meet prior to testing.

The renewal exam can be taken online at www.testract.com/nitc, mailed to certified individuals, or may be administered by a training agency, employer or association.
Certified persons must complete the renewal examination within thirty days of the expiration date of their certification. Persons holding an expired certification that was not renewed within thirty (30) days after the expiration date must retake the examination and pay the full examination fee.
Certified persons who fail to pass the renewal examination must retake the original 100 question proctored examination. Failure to pass a re-certification examination twice may result in NITC requiring that the candidate take a ‘refresher course’ or other type of training before again re-taking the examination.
