Techs must pass the written portion of the exam in order to take the practical portion.

SMACNA Boston and the Local #17 Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee have agreed to put on a four-day prep course in advance of the written portion of the exam.  The course will cover all the relevant topics on the exam and provide a comprehensive refresher for balancing technicians who are looking to become TABB certified.
