The
heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) field
affords many opportunities to interested, motivated individuals who
are willing to become proficient in the installation and maintenance
areas. Additionally, this skill can become the basis for other
career enhancement.
Encompassing many fields, HVACR service persons acquire a working knowledge
of chemistry and physics, mechanics, and public relations. They
become proficient in the application of electrical power and its control,
which is necessary in becoming and remaining successful in this field.
The Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration program
at the Tennessee Technology Center at Covington is a comprehensive training
experience designed to include the necessary knowledge and skills development,
to prepare one to become that successful person.
This is a self-paced program with classroom and shop work including
theory, application, and
service.
A student may start at any time and progress at his/her own pace. Each
student is given individual instruction and need not be concerned with
keeping up will fellow students. Major books of instruction include
electricity, refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps, heating and
commercial systems.
The program has several exit points whereby a student may choose to
leave the program with acquired skill training. Each exit point
reached should enable the individual to perform certain tasks that will
ordinarily be reflected in the appropriate job description.
A certificate is awarded upon completion of each portion of this course. Upon
completion of the entire course, a Diploma, signed by the Chancellor
of Tennessee State Board of Regents, is awarded.
