Course Overview
During the past 20 years, the world has seen a rapid increase in the demand for Refrigeration as well as Air Conditioning Mechanics. There was also a rise in the employment opportunities available to these mechanics, with a total of around 11,000 new vacancies being added, or created, between the years 2019 and 2020.
While refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space for reducing as well as maintaining the temperature of the contents of that space, on the other hand, air conditioning helps in regulating the amount of air in any large building. The aforementioned Certified Basic Refrigerator and Air Conditioning course is offering the students a comprehensive study of the refrigeration cycles as well as a proper insight into the psychrometric processes used in air conditioning.
It also provides the students with skills that are required for seeking employment in various companies.
Additionally, the course will help you understand the correct process for verifying technical and mechanical gaults for HVAC systems, while also providing you with technical assistance and job training.
