Technical Core Assessment (TCA)


The TCA is an assessment tool designed to determine your level of knowledge in HVACR. When you complete all or your selection of assessments the results will be displayed in your grade book. Your personal educational plan (if needed) will be provided to you via email to meet your professional development needs. The assessment is actually 13 separate assessments given in a sequence starting with HVACR safety. The total combined assessment has 270 questions randomly selected from a pool of qualified questions. You must have adequate time to complete the assessments. A recommended gauge would be 30 minutes for each section. It is not necessary to complete all of the assessments in one sitting and it is not necessary to take all of the assessments. You have 30 days to complete your assessments from the date that you are enrolled. You have an open menu to choose from as you wish however completed assessments are the only ones that can be used for a personal education plan and the only ones that will be displayed in your grade book. We recommend that you have a calculator, watch or clock with a second hand and pencil with note paper to assist in completing the assessments.

Mentored-Self Pace Course Delivery


men·tor (n. A wise and trusted counselor or teacher


Definition:

In a mentored course, a student works one-on-one with an instructor in a self-paced manner, meaning the student works to complete a course at their own pace within the subscription timeframe (typically 60 days). The instructor, who is an industry expert, is assigned at the time of course registration and serves as the student’s mentor throughout the duration of the course. The student is notified via e-mail of the instructor name and contact information within 24 hours of registration.


All course activity is done “virtually” (online). Students have access to their course 24/7 so they set their own schedule, however they are expected to meet all course requirements by the end of the course, seeking guidance and support from the instructor as needed. All communication between student and instructor is done via email.


As a mentor, the instructor’s primary role is to provide a personal contact for the student as well as serve as an expert learning coach. In this role, the instructor:

• Provides valuable expertise and guidance on the course subject matter

• Seeks additional subject matter expertise when necessary to

• assist with concepts or learning objectives

• Monitors student progress and exams results

• Assists with administrative and content issues within a course

• Is approachable, available and responsive via email communication


This Mentored Self-Paced learning approach can be thought of as getting private lessons; there is one student and one instructor.


Key Aspects:

• Self-paced

• Mentored learning with industry expert

• One-on-one interaction with instructor

• Instructor monitoring, assistance & guidance


Recommended For:

Students who prefer to work at their own pace with instructor guidance and support.


Grading System:

Mentored students are graded on the following:

• Quizzes

• Module Exams

• Final Exam


To obtain NATE Recognized CEU credit, students must make a final grade of 75% or higher.
