Don't you need a license to buy refrigerant? Here we need to take courses here.

EPA Certification - R410A FAQ

Are you required to have a license or to be certified to handle and purchase R-410A?
You are required to have an EPA Section 608 Type II or Universal certification license to handle R-410A but no license is legally necessary for purchase. A refrigeration supply house may have its own rules regarding who they are willing to sell R-410A to (they will typically require Section 608 Type II even though the EPA doesn’t require it for safety and liability reasons).

The supply houses won't sell it to you with out an ODP (ozone depletion) card. Kinda defeats the purpose if anyone can buy it, I don't think the EPA is that serious about keeping it only in the hands of qualified folks.

Time for Propane and ammonia
