HVAC (Certificate)

The HVAC Technician Certificate is a comprehensive HVACR training program for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration installers and technicians. This program is designed for learners using an online, mentor facilitated, self-paced environment that are interested in:

Entry-level into the HVACR industry
Continuing education for upgrading skills, or
Becoming Certified or Licensed (NATE, etc)

This program follows the general consensus among industry leaders regarding the knowledge and skills needed by HVAC/R industry workers. The HVAC Core Technician Certificate program is offered in 8 courses with a subscription length of 120 days per course. Each course contains 12 modules. The modules cover specific HVAC/R concepts by incorporating a presentation that utilizes some or all of the following; text reading assignments, web site tours, applied exercises, quizzes, industry terminology definitions, video clips, animations, images, and printable handouts. Each module if followed by an exam, with a midterm and final for each course. Passing rate for each course is 75% or higher. (320 Hrs)

Final Exam

Diverse geographical and operating conditions require considerably different types and sizes of heating, cooling, and air-moving equipment to create a desired controlled environment. If improperly sized or selected equipment is used, the desired environment will not be obtainable at all times. Furthermore, improperly selected and/or sized equipment may be more costly -- requiring excess power or energy as well as an unnecessary capital investment.

This course, through a combination of lecture and workshops, explains and demonstrates the state-of-the-art methodology for sizing and selecting heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment for commercial buildings. The common types of HVAC systems are discussed and analyzed as are currently available energy conserving/recovery equipment. The issue of indoor air quality (IAQ), particularly as it relates to variable air volume (VAV) systems, is addressed. An introduction to duct design is also included.

Learn to:

Determine design cooling and heating loads
Understand the characteristics of various types of HVAC systems
Evaluate potential energy saving techniques and equipment
Discover potential solutions to IAQ problems with VAV systems
Please bring a calculator for workshop sessions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Designers, Contractors, Manufacturers, Architects, and Engineers who wish to enhance their knowledge of the fundamentals of equipment sizing and energy estimating for heating and air-conditioning systems. You should possess a degree in engineering or science or the equivalent experience.

This program is a capstone to both the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration - Industrial and the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration - Commercial Advanced Certificates. It provides a rigorous heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) background with solid preparation for entry-level management positions or transfer to four-year programs offering bachelor degrees in HVACR, technology management, and other technically oriented fields. This program also provides opportunities to obtain advanced certifications which are recognized throughout the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning industry.
