This nine-month, 800-hour, full-time day or evening certificate program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and hands-on skills to become successful HVAC&R technicians. HVAC&R technicians work for heating and cooling contractors,refrigeration and air conditioning service and repair shops, schools, hospitals, office buildings, a variety of industries, and local, State and Federal governments.

 

Under the supervision of a licensed technician, the HVAC&R apprentices help with the installation, troubleshooting, diagnosis and repair of equipment.
