Online Industrial Training – Garden City Ammonia Program

Today Jeremy Williams of GCAPCoolcast brings to you another R-717 Video Tip of the Day.  Today we talk and discuss oil separation with reciprocating compressor using the Temprite Oil Separators.

A recent post discussed a drop in RETA CIRO test scores since the test has been re-written.  This post shows the pass rate going from a 78% to a 68% for the qualified participants.  Today the pass rate for the CIRO is only 37% since the test has been re-written.  That is actually very frightening as a professional training organization.   Are the people whom are sitting for these exams not knowledgeable and experienced.  The CIRO requires two years of field experience to take the test.  Most agree that the experience alone wont get you to pass the test,  but something significantly is different.  In statistics we call this on outlier.  Not only has the pass rate for the CIRO significantly dropped, but the CARO is falling as well.

If this was the first time this type of testing was introduced we would have to look at many factors that might cause this.  From the teacher, to the student, to the material, to the testing environment, etc….  The only thing of these that have changed is the test, so to blame the tester is ludicrous.  As a professional organization that provides testing, certifications, and credentials we know probably more than anyone that not all will succeed, but heck a 37% pass rate is nothing to be bragging about.  All this being said, do your due diligence before you sit for any third party training and or testing certifications.

This data comes from the RETA Breeze published March/April 2021.  RETA welcomes questions about RETA’s credentialing exams and activities.  Send your questions by email to the certification department at certification@reta.com.

Rather we are teaching one or 20 students we are committed to each and every students success and safety.  Congratulations to these recent groups incorporated into GCAP’s Training Solutions hands on facility.

This week Jeremy Williams of GCAP – Training Solutions and GCAPCoolCast.com bring you another R-717 video tip of the day. What, when, why, and where for Industrial Cascade Refrigeration systems.

The oil separator is another critical component to the life and efficiency of a refrigeration system.  Unlike a reciprocating compressor, a screw compressor with store and manage the oil under discharge pressure.  Below is a brand new video cast for the online division on screw compressor oil separation.

In today’s video cast for the R-717 Tip of the Day Jeremy Williams of GCAP presents the safety aspects of a pump down on a typical valve group from Parker.  When you watch the video you can find out how to get a free engine room poster too!
