Uncover Your Future in Refrigeration & Climate Control!

Are you ready to chill out and power up your future? Join us for a hands-on, action-packed training class where you'll discover the hidden science of thermodynamics that keeps our food fresh, our homes comfy, and even powers massive data centers! 

Over six exciting hours, you'll become a Climate Control Cadet, learning the fundamental skills in:

  • Electrical Power: Understand circuits, wiring, and the flow of energy needed to kickstart a cooling system.

  • Physics in Action: Explore pressure, volume, and how gases can steal heat (it's not magic, it's physics!).

  • Thermodynamics Thrills: Uncover the secrets of heat transfer—how we move heat from where we don't want it to where we don't mind it, making things feel cold.

Get Your Hands Cold (and Smart!) 

This course is built for hands-on learning. You'll get to explore basic circuits to understand how refrigeration systems are controlled. Learn about the different refrigerants, systems, and applications. Disassemble and identify the key components of a refrigeration cycle, from the compressor to the evaporator. Measure and troubleshoot system performance using real tools of the trade. Learn basic braising and soldering techniques. 

The Outcome: You'll leave with a certificate of completion, a basic understanding of a critical, high-demand trade, and a new appreciation for the 'cool' science all around you!

Don't just survive the heat—learn to control it! Sign up today and become a master of the chill, and learn all about this high-demand trade that is needed everywhere!
