Ritchie launched YELLOW JACKET UNIVERSITY this past summer, and while they’ve been adding new articles, videos and questions on a regular basis, they thought it was still missing something. Yes, “coursework” is a huge part of the university experience, but so are tests, and ultimately, a degree (beer, too, but it’s not easy to crack open a virtual cold one).As of October 2011, you can be a part of YJU’s first graduating class and get your “degree in cool.” The program consists of a 25-question exam that covers a variety of HVAC/R-related topics, and the answers are all located on the website. And, if you don’t know an answer off the top of your head, the source(s) on the site where the answer is found are listed right by the question. It’s an open site test! Get it? Moving on.If you get at least 20 right, you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing to win a YELLOW JACKET® Refrigeration System Analyzer, AccuProbe UV^TM Leak Detector or Heat Pump Manifold.* And you can take the exam as many times as you want (through February 29, 2012) until you get that passing score. Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than this. So get your degree, already!
