HVAC Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
Overview:
Introduction
The upkeep of cooling and refrigeration systems is covered by our air conditioning and refrigeration courses. The training curriculum covers troubleshooting and the quick fixes needed to fix problems as they arise, as well as how effective preventive maintenance may cut down on the frequency of difficulties and extend equipment life.
In a hands-on setting that mimics maintenance challenges that arise in the real world, this training program assists technicians with the two aforementioned scenarios. The test equipment used in the industry will be used for practice by participants in this air conditioning course.
