Course curriculum is divided into ten units covering COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION, HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING, ELECTRICAL & Alternative Energy Sources
Students will learn how to trouble-shoot, service, repair and install all Heating, AC, and Refrigeration parts & equipment. Classroom instruction is presented by highly trained qualified instructors that are certified by NATE ( North American Technician Excellence ) and RSES ( REFRIGERATION SERVICE ENGINEERS SOCIETY ) Classroom & lab hands-on training is limited to no more than 18 students to provide individual, personalized training with modern high efficiency heating, air conditioning and commercial refrigeration units. Students receive instruction and hands-on experience with numerous running on site lab projects. Students will learn refrigeration components and their function in modern refrigeration equipment. Students will learn to read, draw and understand electrical diagrams of on-site Ice machines, reach-in and walk-in freezers, all types of commercial and residential furnaces, hot water heaters, heat pumps, and air conditioning units. Training is 50% classroom instruction, 50% hands-on training that will be evaluated by student and instructors at the end of each individual project. Students will be trained in the usage of modern environmentally safe, ozone friendly refrigerants with EPA certification in Refrigerant usage ( EPA section 608 ) Students will receive classroom and lab training to prepare for NATE core certification.

U.S. Dept of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook
Because of the increasing sophistication of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems, employers prefer to hire those who have completed technical school training or a formal apprenticeship.
Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers held about 308,200 jobs in 2008; about 54 percent worked for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. The rest were employed in a variety of industries throughout the country, reflecting a widespread dependence on climate-control systems. Some worked for refrigeration and air-conditioning service and repair shops, schools, and stores that sell heating and air-conditioning systems. Local governments, the Federal Government, hospitals, office buildings, and other organizations that operate large air-conditioning, refrigeration, or heating systems also employed these workers. About 16 percent of these workers were self-employed.
Residential HVACR systems generally need replacement after 10 to 15 years; the large number of homes built in recent years will enter this replacement timeframe by 2018. The increased complexity of HVACR systems, which increases the possibility that equipment may malfunction, also will create opportunities for service technicians.
Concern for the environment and the need to reduce energy consumption overall has prompted the development of new energy-saving heating and air-conditioning systems. This emphasis on better energy management is expected to lead to the replacement of older systems and the installation of newer, more efficient systems in existing homes and buildings.
With much faster than average job growth and numerous expected retirements, heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers should have excellant employment opportunities. |
