Massachusetts Refrigeration License I have all classroom and field hours. I will need to attend a class in the fall to strengthen my overall knowledge so I can go take test. Massachusetts doesn’t require me to have the license to operate my business. I have been self employed for so long that I never focused on getting that license. However I would say i would like to finally get it.
