Symposium Virtual Ticket and NATE Credit FAQs

Where can I buy virtual tickets?

You must be logged into the site to purchase tickets, so you must either sign in or sign up for an HVAC School account. Scroll to the bottom of the symposium schedule on the main page (linked above), and there will be a button that says “Get Tickets.” This button will direct you to the ticket selection and payment page.

I have an in-person ticket. Can I watch the sessions I missed virtually after the symposium?

Yes! All ticket holders will be able to watch the sessions online.

Where will I be able to watch the sessions virtually?

Will the event be streamed live like in previous years?

Due to the change in venue, we will only be livestreaming the MAIN STAGE this year (left column in the schedule above). The other two stages will be recorded, and our goal is to have those sessions up on their respective pages within 24 hours of their ending, barring any technical difficulties.

How long will I be able to access the sessions?

All ticket holders will be able to access the sessions for at least 9 months after the symposium. Virtual tickets will also remain on sale after the symposium.

How can I receive my NATE credits for attending the symposium?

For NATE credit, pass 16 eligible session quizzes, one per session, with a score of at least 80%. The site will create one 16-hour Symposium certificate, and HVAC School will submit that completion to NATE. The 16-quiz requirement is our process, not a NATE rule.

When and where can I find these quizzes?

Within 4 weeks of the symposium’s end, all ticketholders will receive an email letting them know that the quizzes are open. They will receive instructions on how to access these quizzes in that same email.

Where do I need to add my NATE ID?

You can update your NATE ID on your profile. Click your username at the top right of the page while you’re logged in, and you can enter your NATE ID into its respective field. Make sure you fill out your NATE ID in your profile BEFORE taking the quizzes! We will use this ID when we submit the certificates.

Can I receive partial credit for completing a few quizzes?

No. We submit the Symposium to NATE as one 16-hour conference completion, so you need to pass 16 eligible session quizzes at 80% or better. We can't submit just a few session hours.

What do I need to do after I pass 16 quizzes?

Nothing else. HVAC School receives a copy and submits completions to NATE in batches using the NATE ID in your profile. Allow up to a month for the credit to show up.
