Air Conditioning & Heating Technology Diploma
This is a comprehensive HVAC training program in Heating and Air Conditioning Repair and Maintenance. It covers the basic principles of refrigeration and air conditioning. It emphasizes the understanding of electrical systems and covers major system components, testing equipment, troubleshooting procedures, types of refrigerant, refrigerant handling. Maintenance and repair of heating systems is also covered. You will also have the opportunity to work on our new custom package unit wiring and troubleshooting modules. Everything we work on is live real world equipment that you will find in the field. You as the student will have your own equipment to work on and will not have to share your time with any other students.
