<br />Students who satisfactorily complete this program will be able to diagnose, service, install and repair heating, ventilation, air
<br />conditioning equipment, as well as understand the reasons for buildings to gain or lose heat and to help mitigate the impact on energy
<br />usage, training also includes systems utilizing direct digital control (DDC). The overall scope of the training seeks to prepare
<br />graduates to understand the reasons why the HVAC/R equipment is needed inside structures and how to get the most performance
<br />from it, in an entry level position. This, in many ways is a different approach than has been traditionally done. It sees the building as a
<br />system and the HVAC/R equipment as a sub -system of that system. As California moves toward "net -zero' energy usage for new
<br />homes and businesses the focus is on bringing existing buildings up to energy efficiency standards. This effects homes, businesses
<br />and industrial settings of all kinds, including but not limited to hospitals, offices, food storage, ice making applications, and numerous
<br />highly technical applications. Work is year around and may require indoor as well as outdoor work.
<br />The training methodology for this program consists of an online training program in lieu ofa traditional classroom experience. Hands-
<br />on training at the school is an integral part ofthe curriculum making this a true`Blend" of online and hands-on training. A 50-50 ratio
<br />is felt to be most desirable though there could be some minor fluctuation depending upon how long an individual spends actually
<br />doing the online portion. A student needs to have adequate computer skills to benefit from this training as well as access to a
<br />computer hooked up to ahigh speed Internet connection. The school can help an interested candidate for training determine whether
<br />or not they possess the requisite skills forthis. This program is attractive forthose living great distances from the physical location of
<br />the school, as well as those that can only spend a limited time at the training facility. This program is not offered `online only". It is
<br />only offered as part of the blended online/hands-on program.
