Room Reservations
A special block of rooms has been secured for NADCA meeting attendees at the Marriot Marco Island Resort & Spa at the
discounted group rate of $269.00 for a single or double occupancy room. Rates are per night and do not include taxes,
gratuity or any fees as charged by the hotel. Reservations must be made by April 6, 2015, 5:00 pm - local hotel
time. The discounted group rate is available three (3) days prior to and after the meeting; subject to availability of rooms at
the time of reservation.
NADCA urges all meeting attendees to make sleeping room reservations at the official host hotel (the Marriott Marco Island
Resort & Spa). The hotel was contracted to provide the best rate and service as a convenience for meeting attendees. In
order to reserve the required meeting space, NADCA has a contractual obligation to fill a specified number of sleeping
rooms. NADCA is at risk for defaulting on this obligation if reservations are made at other hotels. Failure to meet the
contractual obligation will translate into NADCA paying higher costs (penalties) to the hotel. Should this occur, NADCA will
likely be forced to increase our annual registration fees for future meetings.
Become NADCA Certified! The National Air Duct Cleaners Association invites you to join over 1,800 technicians who are ASCS’s and CVI’s. Technicians who
successfully complete their respective exams will obtain the prestigious ASCS or CVI credential. The credential assures specialized
knowledge in HVAC systems cleaning, adherence to standards, consumer protections and confers peer and public recognition to
those individuals who prove proficient in their practice.
The Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) is NADCA’s
most popular certification, as it signifies a high level of
professionalism in the HVAC cleaning industry. Through
certification, technicians and contractors demonstrate requisite
knowledge of HVAC\system cleaning, NADCA standards,
industry regulations, an understanding of basic microbiological
contamination, project assessment and more.
The Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) certification is sought by
NADCA members and HVAC industry contractors who are interested
in demonstrating a higher level of professionalism and knowledge.
Individuals with a CVI certification have undergone training in
performing inspections, in compliance with NADCA's standards and
guidelines.
To obtain either the ASCS or CVI certification, an individual is required to take and pass a multiple choice exam.
These exams are available through several different outlets, including but not limited to NADCA testing centers,
the NADCA Annual Meeting & Exposition and the NADCA Fall Technical Conference.
NADCA’s “Train the Trainer” Program
As you look through the brochure, you will notice that several presentations are marked “CEC Training.” These
presentations are part of NADCA’s unique CEC Training Program, designed to provide materials you can use to train
your company’s personnel back at the office so they can earn the continuing education credits they need for ASCS
certification renewal. In addition to helping you implement your own good quality training, the CEC Training Program also
allows your personnel to earn CECs toward their ASCS recertification – without ever leaving the office. Upon completion
of the training, each employee must sign an affidavit verifying their participation in the training and pay the renewal fee of
$75. This will qualify them for six (6) CECs for their ASCS Renewal.
Be sure to attend these CEC Training sessions if you want to participate in this program. You must scan your
identification badge (received at the NADCA registration desk) in order to qualify to train your personnel so they can
receive continuing education credits from NADCA. Please note that in order to qualify to train your personnel through the
CEC Training Program you must also hold a current ASCS certification. All registrants in attendance will receive access
to the speaker materials for the CEC Training Sessions. A listing of the CEC Certified Training sessions are noted below.
