Urbandale, IA (PRWEB) August 4, 2006

MEPatWORK. com, with the help of its partner, HVACReducation. net, is launching a new product this month to bring more online education opportunities to industry professionals. The collaboration on this effort began in the fall of 2005 and has produced what is called the MEPatWORK. com Online Education Center. The Online Education Center features two main tools: MEPSTR and MEPPREP.

MEPSTR is a collection of self-assessments that will evaluate job seekers’ knowledge of the HVAC/R industry. This is a great way for them to prepare for future employment opportunities and to show their current and/or potential employer their proven skill sets. Each assessment is composed of randomly selected questions from various HVAC/R topics.

MEPPREP offers multiple NATE Exam Prep Reviews that can better prepare job seekers to take the NATE Certification exam. Each assessment review program includes downloadable handouts, instant feedback, easy navigation and related resources for additional study. The selection of web-based review programs includes all the main topics covered by the NATE certification exams.

With these offerings, job seekers can evaluate their skill sets and identify where additional training may be needed. Employers can also use these two products to keep employee training up to date and as extra tools for the hiring process. “The Online Education Center is convenient, affordable and the courses are NATE recognized,” says Georgann Smith, VP of Marketing. “The Online Education Center is an example of our commitment in providing a variety of resources that support career development and industry growth.” MEPatWORK. com believes that by offering these educational services to industry professionals they will be better prepared to obtain top jobs in the MEP trades.
